Description
Windsor
Windsor can be found on the River Thames, just west of London. It is one of only 8 Royal Boroughs in the UK. A Royal Borough is given this status based on an express wish by the Monarchy. It's easy to see why Windsor has been granted this once you arrive. The market town is steeped in history and is home to Windsor Castle, a residence of the British Royal Family. Built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the Castle hosted the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, also known as Harry and Megan.
You can either purchase a ticket for entry into the Castle or explore the beautiful, cobbled streets of Windsor at your own leisure.
Stonehenge
As well as visiting the stunning town of Windsor, the tour takes you to Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England. Stonehenge is where you'll find the famous circle of sarsen and ‘bluestones’, many being around 13 feet in height, around 7 feet wide, with some weighting up to 25 tonnes each, with the heaviest being around 30 tonnes. The first monument at Stonehenge was a circular earthwork enclosure, built in about 3000 BC. There are many different theories as to how the stones arrived at Stonehenge, including them being pulled over 30km to the site.
During your coach ride to and from each location, your professional guide will provide you with many useful facts, figures and inside knowledge about Windsor and Stonehenge.
Expert Tip: Windsor is full of great cafes and eateries. I recommend Ole & Steen on King Edward VII Ave. The cinnamon social pastry is a must-try!
