The counties of Wiltshire and Somerset are home to some of England’s most ancient sites and landscapes. From prehistory people have been drawn to these locations and today several thousand years later, we too are still attracted to these places. Although many of these sites are renowned for their monuments, there is far more to them. Join us, as we explore some of the world’s sacred sites, their history and their place.

We begin in Glastonbury, which will be our base throughout the tour. Here we shall visit the legendary Glastonbury Abbey, the Chalice Well, along with the imposing Tor and the intertwining, serpent-like energy of the St. Michael’s Line.

There is perhaps no powerful landscape in England than that at Avebury, here we are visiting not just one site but a whole collection of monuments that all connect to form a stunning complex. From the stone circle and henge at Avebury we shall walk the stone avenues, explore the burial mounds that mark the outer boundaries of the landscape and take in the calm of a sacred spring in the shadow of the largest man made mound in Europe, Silbury Hill. The Avebury area also abounds with a powerful energy, we once again pick up the St. Michael’s Line as it passes through the countryside.

Our final destination is to the area dominated by the Stonehenge monument. Imposing as this site is, it is only part of the story of what again is a complex series of sites, bound together to form this ancient landscape. We shall view the settlement area of Durrington Walls and explore the processional routes taken towards the mighty stone circle itself.
