Stonehenge & Salisbury

Complete your visit to South West England with a unique guided tour of Stonehenge & Avebury, and a 2 night stay amongst the medieval grandeur of Salisbury and its inspiring Cathedral. We love Stonehenge but it’s often misunderstood, avoid the crowds and really connect with this iconic monument.
 
Built by our ancestors over 5000 years ago the mystery of how? and why? has resonated down the centuries. These trips are from our sister ‘Drive & Stroll’, also founded by Alison & David Howell. Guided tours by private car that allow us to explore a little further afield.
