Itinerary
You stop on the way at Runnymede for some refreshments and a walk through a peaceful meadow which witnessed one of history’s most important events: the sealing of the Magna Carta by King John of England. This document started as a peace treaty between a king and his rebellious barons, but it went on to become the foundation of human rights around the world.
Your second stop is one of the most puzzling structures in Britain; Stonehenge. Was it an ancient temple, an astronomical calendar, or perhaps the work of Merlin's magic? You'll have a few hours to explore the visitor centre, eat lunch, and see the 5000-year-old stones. Will you uncover the mystery behind why this monument was built?
