Discover the mysteries of Stonehenge and the royal heritage of Windsor Castle on a guided day trip from London.
Stonehenge
Leave London and travel across the sweeping Salisbury Plain to visit Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Standing alone on the open plain, this prehistoric monument is nearly 5,000 years old. Linked with pagan traditions, spiritual rituals, and centuries of debate, Stonehenge remains a mystery. Explore the stones and marvel at this remarkable achievement of ancient engineering.
Windsor Castle
Next, head to Windsor Castle, perched above the River Thames just outside London. Since the time of William the Conqueror in the 11th century, 41 monarchs have lived within its walls, leaving their mark on what is now the largest continuously occupied castle in the world.
Step inside Windsor Castle to admire the splendor of St George’s Chapel and the impressive State Apartments. St George’s Chapel is also the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth II, who was laid to rest there in 2022.
The town of Windsor itself is charming, filled with traditional shops and historic pubs. One local legend even claims that William Shakespeare wrote his play The Merry Wives of Windsor in one of them.
From Windsor, make the short journey back to London, where your adventure comes to an end.
