This experience is also part of our Stonehenge small group tours collection, designed for visitors who prefer smaller groups and more interaction with their guide.
Stonehenge
Your day begins with a visit to Stonehenge, one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world and a highlight of many Stonehenge tours from London.
Arriving early in the day allows you to experience the site before the busiest crowds.
Stonehenge was constructed 5,000 years ago, and its enormous standing stones — some weighing over 30 tons — were transported from over 100 miles away by Neolithic man.
Despite decades of research, the purpose of Stonehenge remains one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries. It may have served as a ceremonial gathering place, burial ground, or astronomical calendar.
During your visit you can explore:
• The ancient stone circle
• The Stonehenge Visitor Centre
• Archaeological discoveries from the surrounding landscape
• A reconstructed Neolithic village
Glastonbury
Continuing west through the countryside, we arrive in Glastonbury, a town steeped in legend and long associated with the mystical island of Avalon in Arthurian tradition.
Rising dramatically above the surrounding countryside, Glastonbury Tor is one of the most iconic landmarks in southwest England. According to legend, the mortally wounded King Arthur was brought here after the Battle of Camlann, and many believe this mysterious hill marks the entrance to the mythical Avalon.
You will visit the atmospheric ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, where medieval monks claimed to have discovered the tomb of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. As you explore the abbey grounds, your guide will share the fascinating stories surrounding the site, including the legend that Joseph of Arimathea brought the Holy Grail to Glastonbury and founded one of the earliest Christian communities in Britain.
You will also have time to explore the town itself, known for its unique character, independent shops, and eclectic cafés — the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed lunch before continuing the journey.
Avebury
Your final stop is Avebury, home to the largest stone circle in Britain and one of the most remarkable prehistoric archaeological landscapes in Europe.
Unlike Stonehenge, visitors can walk freely among the stones at Avebury, which stand within a peaceful village surrounded by countryside.
The site dates back more than 4,000 years and forms part of the same UNESCO World Heritage landscape as Stonehenge.
Here you will enjoy a guided walk and time to explore the stone circles before the journey back to London.
