It takes about 1 hour 45 minutes from central London to Castle Combe, a most delightful, quintessential English village in the area known as the Cotswolds. We stop here for about 30 minutes for photographs and Bath is a further 30 minutes away.
Stonehenge
Over a wide area of Salisbury Plain and from circa 3600bc to circa 1600bc, there are hundreds of prehistoric monuments in the landscape. The most famous is Stonehenge which appears to have been developed over a 1400 year period from about 3000bc.
Archaeologists’ opinions vary but it would appear that the stones had been erected by about 2500BC. Good archaeological evidence indicates the site was used both as a burial site and as a form of calendar.
Speculation from other archaeological evidence has suggested the site was also used as a temple, a pre-historic place of healing and maybe even as a place of gladiatorial combat. Although in a ruined condition, it is still awe-inspiring and particularly atmospheric at dawn, and at dusk.
Most visitors view the stones from a pathway some yards distant, but on request we can often organise a special tour to watch the sunrise or sunset from amongst the stones.
