Activity itinerary

Stonehenge

2h
Admission ticket not included

We'll start the day with a relaxed drive through the quintessential English countryside. As the huge stone circle appears on the horizon, your guide will reveal fascinating stories about it's construction and theories around it's meaning. Was it an astronomical calendar, a burial ground, a place of healing or worship? Marvel at the shear size of the Sarcen stones, some weighing over 30 tonnes and the precision with which they are arranged.

Salisbury Cathedral and Magna Carta

2h
Admission ticket not included

After enjoying the time to wander around the mysterious monoliths of Stonehenge, you will have the option of stopping for a classic English pub lunch before making your way to Medieval Salisbury, where your guide will lead you through 800 years of history in Salisbury Cathedral, pointing out it's incredible hand carved columns, the tallest spire in Britain and it's best preserved copy of the historic Magna Carta.

Cerne Abbas Giant

15m

On the way back from Salisbury, you will have the option to visit the legendary Cerne Giant. Britains largest and most recognisable chalk hill figure. Many have wondered of the heritage of the club wielding figure drawn on the hillside. Was he an ancient god, a fertility symbol, or the figure of an ancient giant slain by the locals? This brief stop is an excellent photo opportunity for all.

Weymouth Beach (Pass by)

When arriving back in the vacinity of the cruise ship, you will have the chance of a slow cruise through Weymouth's Seafront and its harbour, with lifting Victorian bridge. Weymouth was one of the first seaside resorts in the UK, made famous and trendy by King George III for his habit of visiting for sea swimming and enjoyment of the scenic area. Today the area is a popular tourist resort, with a working harbour full of yachts and fishing vessels.

Isle of Portland

20m

Our last stop on the tour is at the top of Portland to get one of the best coastal views of the Jurassic Coast. With a friendly guide full of local secrets and historical information and tales, this private tour encapsulates the best of the regional history, culture and scenery. You will return to your ship full of fascinating stories from one of Englands most characteristic regions.
