Gray Line London, London Thu, 25th March 2010 - Mon, 29th March 2010 From £74.06*Mysterious Stonehenge 5,000 years ago these huge 40-ton rocks were dragged to the lonely, windy plain of Salisbury Hill, and their secrets continue to tantalize and intrigue scholars and visitors to this day. Was Stonehenge a religious temple, an astronomical clock, or a Bronze Age burial ground? Learn more about this iconic monument steeped in mystery and legend, and let your imagination be captivated by its silent, ancient mysteries. Salisbury and Magna Carta Here we visit probably the finest medieval cathedral in Britain. The spire of Salisbury Cathedral the tallest in England at 123m (404ft) soars to the heavens, and marked a revolution in cathedral architecture when it was built 800 years ago. In the Chapter House, you will see the Magna Carta, the famous agreement made between King John and his barons at Runnymede in 1215. Lunch Lunch will be at a historic pub in Salisbury. Bath Standing on the slopes of the River Avon, this beautiful Georgian city was the first city in England to be designated a World Heritage Site. On our panoramic tour you will see Bath Abbey, where the first British King was crowned in 973AD, the famous Pulteney Bridge modelled on the Florentine Ponte Vecchio and the stunning architecture of the Royal Crescent. Roman Baths We will visit the Roman Baths that made the city famous, the best preserved Roman Spa from the ancient world, but then tantalizingly hidden from view until the 1870's. Here we will also witness the torch lighting ceremony when the torches around the Great Roman Bath are lit at dusk (not applicable in Summer) and exclusively for Golden Tours clients there is an opportunity to drink a glass of spa water straight from the historic Pump Rooms. We will return to London around 7:00 pm.
