Stonehenge & Bath - max 53 people

Stonehenge:
The tour begins on Salisbury Plain, about 137 km (85 miles) southwest of London, where you will visit the historic monument Stonehenge, dating from around 2500 BC. It consists of two large circular arrangements of stones; the inner circle is made of smaller, local stones, while the large outer stones were transported to the site from quarries in Wales.
Over the years, there have been many theories and fantastic speculations about what the monument was used for—ranging from a landing site for UFOs to an observatory or a sacred site where the stones were believed to have healing powers. In recent years, archaeologists have solved the mystery: Stonehenge was definitely used as a burial site—most likely for members of the ruling dynasty. It is estimated that around 240 individuals were cremated and buried here.

Bath:
Next, you will travel to the historic city of Bath, located in England’s only area with natural hot springs. The city lies at the ancient Roman crossing point over the River Avon. In the 1st century AD, the Romans built a large bath complex around a Celtic sacred spring dedicated to the goddess Sulis, which supplied the large pools with hot, mineral-rich water. In the southeast corner of the complex, the spring emerged, providing around 1.5 million liters of water per day. The bath complex was frequented by both Romans and Celts.
Today, the ancient buildings are very well preserved and provide great insight into Roman bathing culture and a clear picture of the Romans’ skills as architects and engineers. The site was also decorated with the finest wall paintings and mosaics, some of which are still partially preserved.

With the help of an audio guide, you are led through the site's many different outdoor and indoor areas. Computer animation has been used to show what the buildings looked like around 2000 years ago.

Museum of Costume:
Finally, you will visit the Museum of Costume. The museum's exhibition, which focuses on fashion from the late 1600s to the present day, includes clothing items for men, women, and children. The museum has a collection of over 30,000 items, of which only about 10% are on display. The museum’s lighting is very subdued, as textiles are slowly damaged by strong light.
