Windsor
Castle is the largest occupied castle in the world and an official
residence of The Queen. It contains a royal palace with wonderful
State Apartments used for ceremonies and a magnificent chapel
housing the tombs of ten sovereigns of England. The town of Eton
on the opposite banks of the River Thames from the castle is connected
by a footbridge. It is a quaint historic place famous for its
public school. Its most recent famous pupils? Princes William
& Harry!
Stonehenge, like Bath, is a World Heritage Site.The stone circle
was built almost 5000 years ago and is the oldest monument in
Europe. Located on the open, rolling landscape of Salisbury Plain,
Stonehenge will capture your imagination. Learn about Neolithic
cultures and marvel at what scientists believe is their most important
astronomical temple.

Plan
for the day
|
We
leave Cambridge at 0800 for Stonehenge. On arrival, your guide will
explain the history and understanding of Stonehenge. 1-hour stay
at the stones. Take the audio tour (available in several languages)
to hear more about the site. On arrival in Windsor the first stop
is the castle. However, if the weather is good, we will first take
a stroll into Windsor Great Park where there are magnificent views
of the Castle. After an introductory talk about the castle and its
place in British history, you will have free time to explore its
many attractions. But there is more to see than just the castle:
wander the narrow shopping streets of Windsor town, relax by the
banks of the River Thames which flows between the towns of Windsor
and Eton, or sample British upper class society in the antique shops
and the famous college at Eton. |
