Stonehenge, Avebury & Glastonbury - Small Group Tour from London
Our King Arthur tour from Central London takes you to Stonehenge, Glastonbury & Avebury, three of England’s most impressive highlights. Your experienced tour guide, an expert story-teller, will bring to life the legends of King Arthur, the mythical British leader.
Begin the day with a short visit to Stonehenge, an ancient mythical site with stone circles over 4,000 years old.
From here we’ll drive through some of the most beautiful countryside towards Glastonbury, home of the King Arthur Legends. 
We start with a visit to Glastonbury Abbey and learn more about the stories of one of England’s most mythical figures. See King Arthur’s alleged burial place and learn more about his infamous tales. From here, we head to the beautiful gardens at Chalice Wells, known as ‘King Arthur’s Court’, followed by panoramic sweeping views of the Somerset countryside from the mighty Glastonbury Tor, the spiritual magnet for Pagans and Christians for centuries. On top is St Michael’s Tower a grade 1 listed monument. Glastonbury Tor is associated with the legends of Avalon and the alleged discovery of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere’s coffins.
