Witness one of England’s great spiritual mysteries and marvel at one of its grandest cathedrals. Meet your guide and journey to Stonehenge, the world’s most recognized stone circle. The purpose of these monolithic blocks of stone, and the method by which they were erected by ancient hands, remains unknown. Marvel at the ingenuity behind them, and see the famous doorframe-shaped rocks positioned to direct the rays of the winter and summer solstice sun through the circle on the central heel stone. Continue to Salisbury, where the spire of its magnificent cathedral soars 404 feet into the air. This cultural treasure is celebrated as the finest early English Gothic cathedral in England. Inside, you will see the best preserved of only four original Magna Carta manuscripts, dating to 1215 AD, and Europe’s oldest working clock, telling time since 1386. Explore the square around the cathedral, lined with historic houses and museums, before returning to your ship.
