Stonehenge guided sisghteeing tours from London by bus and coach
Stonehenge A World Heritage Site Before Stonehenge was built thousands of years ago, the whole of Salisbury Plain was a forest of towering pines and hazel woodland. Over centuries the landscape changed to open chalk downland. What you see today is about half of the original monument, some of the stones have fallen down, others have been carried away to be used for building or to repair farm tracks and over centuries visitors have added their damage too. It was quite normal to hire a hammer from the blacksmith in Amesbury and come to Stonehenge to chip bits off. As you can imagine this practice is no longer permitted! Stonehenge – Forever a mystery English Heritage is charged with caring for Stonehenge and is committed to its conservation and good management and preservation for future generations. In the landscape around it, the National Trust – who own nearly 1500 acres – are equally concerned for the well-being of this area. And if you have the time, an exploration of the surrounding countryside, with its henges, and cursus and barrows and all the other monuments, is well worthwhile. This is a vast prehistoric scene, with Stonehenge as the ultimate expression of the power which held society together at that time. Did the Druids build Stonehenge? How did Stonehenge come into the care of English Heritage?

The itinery of the tour was excellent, the places we visited were breathtaking, and we found the guide very informative, amusing and his encyclopaedic knowledge of the area and it's history was very impressive and complimeted the tour very well. Also, the tour was made extra special as I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiance!) while we were at stonehenge, and cant thank you enough for making the day truly memorable!
