Ancient Wonders of Wessex Private Guided Tour

Welcome to this tour to Stonehenge, Old Sarum, West Kennet Long Barrow and Avebury. Look below for some more information about your day:

1. Private Tour of Stonehenge:

Starting the day at the most famous stone circle in the world, we ensure an early start to avoid the big crowds at Stonehenge and be amongst the very first visitors at the sight. Your expert guide will escort you to stones and enlighten you on all the mysteries, theories and history behind this fascinating monument.

2. Private Tour of Old Sarum:

After a morning at Stonehenge, your guide will take you a short 20 minute drive south to an Iron Age Hill Fort known today as Old Sarum. Here you can explore the original Saxon Church ruins, enter Old Sarum Castle (Entry not included) and get some spectacular views over the county of Wiltshire.

3. Private Tour of West Kennet Long Barrow:

Our third stop of the day takes us 25 miles North through military camps and crop circle territory. After a short 20 minute hike uphill you will get to see the second longest ancient burial chamber in the country. West Kennet Long Barrow is perhaps 500 years older than Stonehenge! Remarkably it can still be entered today thanks to the Neolithic people filling it with earth and covering the entrance with huge Sarsen stones thousands of years ago.

4. Private Tour of Avebury Stone Circle:

Our final stop of the day is just a 5 minute drive from West Kennet. Driving past the iconic Silbury Hill we enter into a large, complex series of monuments that have been forever explored and attempted to solve. The mystery was linked to the Ancient Druids by William Stukely in his 18th Century book ‘Abury.’ Your tour guide will talk to you about various stones and theories on a walking tour inside the monument.
