Stonehenge & Glastonbury
About this tour
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, consisting of a circular arrangement of massive standing stones. Built in stages between 3000 and 2000 BCE, it remains an archaeological mystery, with debates over its construction methods and purpose. The stones, some transported from over 150 miles away, align with the summer and winter solstices, suggesting astronomical or ceremonial significance. Likely used as a burial site and a centre for rituals, Stonehenge reflects the ingenuity of Neolithic peoples. Its enduring mystique, cultural significance, and impressive engineering have made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of ancient human achievement.
Glastonbury Abbey and Tor are iconic landmarks in Somerset, England, steeped in history and myth. The abbey, founded in the 7th century, was a major Christian pilgrimage site and is linked to legends of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Its ruins, including the grand Lady Chapel, evoke its medieval splendor before its dissolution under Henry VIII. Nearby, Glastonbury Tor, a hill topped with the 14th-century St. Michael’s Tower, offers sweeping views of the countryside. Associated with Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology, the Tor is a symbol of spiritual significance, blending history, mystery, and natural beauty in one captivating site.
