DIRECT SERVICE FROM WEYMOUTH AND PORTLAND
With a history spanning over 10,000 years Wiltshire has been a special place for a very long time! One of the most iconic of Wiltshire’s sites is of course Stonehenge. To this day the mystery remains about the stone circle and how the ‘Blue’ stones that make up the henge were transported from as far away as Wales!
You’ll then visit Salisbury, the historic city and market town that grew up around the Cathedral. Explore Salisbury Cathedral, built in 1220, the tallest and most beautiful church building in Britain. Within the Cathedral view the best preserved copy of the Magna Carta, the medieval document written in 1215, that forms the foundation of the rule of law and many countries’ constitutions.
