There is so much to see at Windsor Castle - from the stunning State Apartments to the gigantic, incredibly detailed Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House -
Stonehenge - Mysterious Stonehenge
The true meaning of this ancient, awe-inspiring creation has been lost in the mists of time. Was Stonehenge a temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a burial site or perhaps a huge calendar? How did our ancestors manage to carry the mighty stones from so far away and then, using only the most primitive of tools, build this amazing structure? Surrounded by mystery, Stonehenge never fails to impress.
You will be given a panoramic tour of Stonehenge. Entry to Stonehenge is not included on this tour - Lacock Abbey - In its 800 years of history, Lacock Abbey has been many things. It started as a nunnery in the 1200s before becoming a Tudor family home. Since then it has evolved with every owner and in 1835, the first photographic negative was captured in the Abbey. Today Lacock is a well-known location for a host of film and TV productions including Harry Potter and Downton Abbey.
- Lacock Village - Lacock An Ancient Village. You may not have heard of Lacock Village, but it’s highly likely you will have seen it.
Perfectly preserved for over 200 years, the medieval Wiltshire village is a go-to filming location for costume dramas and feature films, with its most famous appearances including Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, and several of the Harry Potter films.
Lacock Village is believed to have begun life as a Saxon settlement

Uncover the Havens of History, Culture, and Medieval Heritage. Don’t miss the Royal Windsor Castle, the world’s oldest and largest inhabited castle, which is Queen Elizabeth II’s residence. Explore Stonehenge, the mystical ancient stone circle, known as a world marvel. The surviving remnants today are from the final series of such structures built around 3000BC to 1600BC. Each edifice was designed in a circular form, orienting towards the sunrise during the midsummer solstice. Another crucial site is Lacock, a country estate with monastic histories, once the abode of William Henry Fox Talbot, the pioneer of photographic negatives. Experience Lacock, an epitome of an English village, frozen in time for the past two centuries, featuring streets adorned with timber-framed houses and diverse independent stores.
