Stonehenge Private Viewing, Lacock & Bath

Built nearly 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge is the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. Most visitors to the site are denied direct access to the stones. With Premium Tours, you get that access, with a private viewing of the mysterious monoliths. We will enter the stone circle itself and stand beside the mighty Sarsen rocks towering above us. Our guide will explain the history of this ancient site, pointing out the altar, slaughter and heel stones, above which the sun rises dramatically on the summer solstice. There will be time to enjoy the peace, away from the crowds, as we experience Stonehenge at its most mystical and atmospheric best. Not to be missed! 

(Please note at certain times during the year, it is not possible to see the actual sunrise or sunset but we arrive as early/late as possible to enjoy our private tour inside the stones)

Lacock is a little known, picturesque village dating back to the Saxon era. Many of the beautiful buildings originally formed part of an extensive monastic complex. So pretty, is the village that it has provided the setting for many movies and television dramas including Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, more recently Harry Potter, and the Philosopher’s Stone. We will take a guided walk before we enjoy breakfast in The George Inn, a vintage English pub built in 1361. (Food/drink not included).

If the pub is not available, we will visit an alternative venue.

Bath, a world heritage site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. There will be plenty of time to visit Bath Abbey, or to shop and explore. Your guide will also conduct an optional walking tour to show you where Charles Dickens lived and worked as a young man, and a give you a chance to sample some delicious cheeses fresh from the local dairy farms. Then we will enter the magnificent Roman Baths, where over one million litres of boiling water still burst free from the hot springs everyday.
