The
circles of Stonehenge
- Located in the middle of the barren expanse
of Salisbury Plain, with its horizontal lintel, it
is unique among stone circles. The ancient Britons
quarried, carved and lifted these massive stones,
how it was constructed still defies belief. The
first stone was placed here 5000 years ago and the
monument was finally completed 1400 years later.
Bath's
Georgian Crescents
-
Heading towards Bath through Warminster, we drive
past the home of the Marquess of Bath, Longleat
House. Now on to Regency Bath which is a world
heritage site. The elegant stone buildings with
their terraces, crescents and graceful squares
spread before us. We visit the original Roman Baths
and the Georgian Pump Room where the natural
mineral water attracted all fashionable society
from far and wide. Time to explore Pulteney Bridge
standing astride the River Avon, topped by shops
and buildings or visit Bath Abbey, the "Lantern of
the West."
