— Attraction Information —

• Stonehenge Special Access
  Built nearly 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge is the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. Most visitors to the site are not allowed direct access to the stones. With Premium Tours, you get that access, with a private viewing of the mysterious monoliths. You will enter the stone circle itself and stand beside the mighty Sarsen rocks towering above us. Your guide will explain the history of this ancient site, pointing out the altar, slaughter, and heel stones, above which the sun rises dramatically on the summer solstice. There will be time to enjoy the peace, away from the crowds, as you experience Stonehenge at its most mystical and atmospheric best. Not to be missed!
  
• Lacock
  Lacock is a little-known, picturesque village dating back to the Saxon era. Many of the beautiful buildings originally formed part of an extensive monastic complex and are now owned by The National Trust. So pretty is the village that it has provided the setting for many movies and television dramas including Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and more recently Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Take a delightful walk before enjoying an optional breakfast or early supper at The George Inn. The George Inn dates back to the 14th century and serves up classic British food. (Food/drink not included)
  
• Bath
  Bath is famous for its elegant Georgian architecture. During your panoramic tour of Bath, you will be enchanted by the town's beautifully proportioned street. Your guide will also conduct an optional walking tour to show you a charming 17th-century Sally Lunn tea room and the Jane Austen Museum, among many other hidden treasures. You'll see Bath Abbey and the much-photographed Pulteney Bridge, modeled on the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence. There will be plenty of time to visit Bath Abbey, or to shop and explore. Then, you will enter the magnificent Roman Baths (if the upgrade option is selected), where over one million liters of boiling water still burst free from the hot springs every day. The Roman Baths is the best preserved Roman spa from the ancient world.
