Our first stop-off is the historic Wiltshire market town of Marlborough with its interesting architecture and bustling High Street. Look out for the Renaissance style Town Hall and the house at 132 High Street, which belonged to a seventeenth century silk merchant. There's a market here on Wednesdays and Saturdays; in fact the town can trace its market back to 1204 during the reign of King John. The town's historic churches are also well worth a visit with parts of the Church of St Peter and St Paul dating to the fifteenth century.
Ancient Monuments & Marlborough Tour

This Ancient Monuments Tour combines the Neolithic wonders at Stonehenge, Avebury, West Kennet and Silbury with the historic market town of Marlborough. We'll pick you up from your hotel in London and take you in comfort through the beautiful Wiltshire countryside and ancient landscape around the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. After you've enjoyed the wonders of the Ancient Monuments and Marlborugh town you can relax as your chauffeur drops you back to your London hotel.


Not far from Marlborough is the Early Neolithic burial mound of West Kennet Long Barrow. The site was built around 3,700BC and has been used as a burial site intermittently during the Neolithic period. Human remains have been found inside the chambers along with flint tools and pottery sherds. Walking into the barrow provokes a real connection with our prehistoric past.

Then it's a short drive to see the mysterious stone circle at Avebury, which is situated on ley lines – and you can get up close to the rocks (if you don’t mind the odd sheep!). It’s enormous, with the outer circle almost a mile in diameter. If you are lucky you may spot a crop circle nearby. They appear 'as if by magic' in the fields around here…
You might want a momento of your visit to Avebury so the village's Henge Shop is the perfect place for this. This fantastic community shop sells all sorts of things from books and cards to clothing and jewellery.
Then off to see Silbury Hill—the largest man-made mound in Europe. It covers an amazing five acres and soars up to 130 feet. It was built around 2500BC… but why? Local legend has it that the mound was built as part of a plot to outwit the devil. Others say it is the resting place of the legendary King Sil. It’s just one of many mysteries presented by this extraordinary area.
By now you'll be feeling a tad peckish so there's nothing better than a traditional pub lunch. We like the Wheatsheaf in Wiltshire's Lower Woodford, where you can enjoy hearty pub classics like fish & chips or a Sunday roast. Cosy up by the log fire in winter and enjoy a nice pint of English real ale and a bag of nuts or relax in the garden in the Summer.

On site is the fabulous Stonehenge Visitor Centre where you can further explore the mysteries of the ancient stones. Here you'll enjoy world-class exhibitions and multi-media displays. Outside there are reconstructed Neolithic houses—where if you're lucky—you might see ancient crafting demonstrations and bread-making using prehistoric techniques.
