Windsor Castle, Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge and Bath - Golden Tours

Windsor Castle

Departing from London at 8am, you will be taken to the stunning Windsor Castle perched proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Steeped in history, the Castle dates back to norman times. With sweeping landscape gardens and a turreted round tower it is not hard to see why it remains to this day as the favourite weekend residence of the Queen. Gain a sneak peek of the lavish State Apartments, home to priceless art works by Rembrandt and Leondardo da Vinci, and visit St. George's Chapel, the final resting place of former monarchs including the infamous Henry VIII! You will also visit Queen Mary's Doll's House, a truly incredible structure.

Stonehenge
Visit the ancient and world-famous Stonehenge. Be mesmerised by the 40 tonne rocks that form this 5,000 year old monument, whose secrets continue to tantalise and intrigue scholars and visitors to this day. Learn more about the mystery and legends surrounding this iconic monument, and be captivated by its beautiful rural setting in the Wiltshire countryside.

Salisbury Cathedral
The coach then makes the short journey south to Salisbury, home to one of the finest medieval cathedrals in England. The cathedral’s spire towers above visitors at 123m (404ft), making it the tallest in the country. Whilst at the cathedral you are also welcome to visit the Charter House, one of only 12 surviving Octagonal Chapter Houses. While in the Chapter House, be sure to take a look at the Magna Carta – the beautifully written Latin agreement made between King John and his Barons that has influenced the legal system in countries around the world, including in the United States.

Bath
Standing proudly on the slopes of the River Avon, beautiful Bath was the first city in England to be designated an UNESCO World Heritage site. The gorgeous 15th century Bath Abbey, the stunning Georgian architecture, the romantic Pulteney Bridge, modelled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio, are all sights to linger on in the memory of your day. Enjoy some free time to explore the wonderful city.
