Heritage Treasures at Your Fingertips
Our knowledgeable guides can incorporate any of these remarkable sites into your customised experience:
Stonehenge
Stand in awe before the world's most enigmatic prehistoric monument, where massive sarsen stones have stood sentinel on Salisbury Plain for over 4,500 years. Your expert guide will unravel the enduring mysteries surrounding this ancient wonder, from its astronomical alignments and Neolithic builders to the recent archaeological discoveries that continue to reshape our understanding of Britain's most iconic stone circle.
Corfe Castle
Step into medieval England at this breathtaking 12th-century stronghold built by William the Conqueror's son. Your guide reveals tales of treachery and triumph as you explore dramatic ruins perched high above the Purbeck Valley. Learn how Lady Bankes heroically defended the castle during the English Civil War, and discover why its strategic position made it one of England's most important fortresses for over 600 years.
Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door
Discover the crown jewels of Britain's Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Your guide explains the geological processes that created these spectacular formations over millions of years. Walk along coastal paths offering breathtaking views of perfect horseshoe-shaped Lulworth Cove and the iconic natural limestone arch of Durdle Door. Your guide will allow ample time for photography, beachcombing, and fossil hunting in this stunning coastal landscape.
Glastonbury Abbey
Explore the legendary "Isle of Avalon" and its mystical abbey ruins. Your guide weaves together history and legend, from Joseph of Arimathea's arrival with the Holy Grail to the purported burial site of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. Walk among the atmospheric ruins of what was once England's richest monastery before its destruction during the Dissolution. Feel the spiritual power that has drawn pilgrims for over 1,500 years to this extraordinary sacred site.
Knowlton Church and Henges
Experience a truly unique archaeological wonder—the only church in Britain built within a prehistoric henge monument. Your guide explains how this extraordinary site represents the transition from pagan to Christian worship, with 3,000-year-old earthworks surrounding medieval church ruins. Walk in the footsteps of both Neolithic worshippers and medieval Christians in this atmospheric sacred landscape.
Old Harry Rocks
Marvel at these magnificent chalk formations marking the eastern edge of the Jurassic Coast. Your guide reveals how these striking sea stacks formed over thousands of years and shares local legends of how they acquired their curious name—supposedly after a notorious local pirate or the Devil himself. Enjoy spectacular views across Studland Bay from the clifftop path as your guide points out hidden features of these dramatic white sentinels guarding the coast.
Abbotsbury
Step back in time in this quintessential English village with its honey-colored stone cottages and famous swannery—the world's only managed colony of nesting mute swans. Your guide reveals the village's Saxon origins and connections to King Canute as you explore its timeless streets. Visit the subtropical gardens and climb to St. Catherine's Chapel for spectacular coastal views that have enchanted visitors for centuries..
Blandford Forum
Explore one of Britain's finest Georgian market towns, remarkably rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1731. Your guide reveals how two brothers—John and William Bastard—created a harmonious architectural ensemble that remains virtually unchanged today. Discover Georgian elegance in the town's marketplace, guildhall, and parish church, while learning about 18th-century life and commerce.
Cranborne Chase
Journey through this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Dark Sky Reserve, where rolling hills and ancient woodlands hide prehistoric treasures.

Learn how this royal hunting ground has preserved its character through centuries while discovering hidden valleys and panoramic viewpoints far from tourist routes.
AVEBURY
Discover Europe's largest stone circle at Avebury, where you can walk among and even touch the ancient megaliths that have stood for over 4,000 years.
