Old Sarum

Old Sarum is an Iron Age hillfort (400 BC), its huge ramparts built to protect residents and livestock from danger. During the Roman period the hill was continuously occupied and known to the Roman’s as Sorviodunum. From 1070 to c. 1220 it flourished as a Norman stronghold with castle, palace and cathedral. There are fine views across Salisbury, the city which replaced it.

Salisbury Cathedral

Enjoy plenty of time to explore picturesque Salisbury and it's unique Gothic cathedral. One of the most uplifting experiences in English architecture, Salisbury is unique among the Gothic cathedrals in England in that it was built on a green field site and largely in a single campaign, 1220–58. Completed a century later, the spire at 123m is the tallest medieval structure in Britain. Discover the history and legacy of one of the world's most celebrated documents - the Magna Carta. What did the document say, and how was it interpreted over the next 800 years? Why is it still important today, and how does it affect our culture, laws and rights?

Glastonbury Tor

We can enjoy a leisurely walk (optional) up the iconic and evocative landmark of Glastonbury Tor, offering magnificent views of Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Wales. Steeped in history and legend (as the Isle of Avalon), excavations at the top of the Tor have revealed the plans of two churches of St Michael, of which only a 15th-century tower remains. Glastonbury Tor is known as being one of the most spiritual sites in the country, but also hides a gristly past; on the 15 November 1539 Abbot Richard Whiting was hanged, drawn and quartered for treason.

Glastonbury Abbey

Glastonbury Abbey is connected with legend to a degree that is unparalleled by any other abbey in England. Since Medieval times, the abbey has held legendary status as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain linked to Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail and the burial place of King Arthur. Today, the romantic ruins of the abbey are set in 36 acres of tranquil gardens.
