Top Experiences in Silbury Hill

This very special and unique day tour will take us to the world famous Stonehenge.  That is just the beginning as we will then visit the in many ways more impressive stone circles at Avebury before visiting Silbury Hill and an actual prehistoric burial mound that we can explore inside.  It is a tour that is totally impossible by the usual coach companies but most days we have it almost to ourselves.

We have been producing and running tours for over 30 years and we like to think that each one of our tours is special in its own right and our King Arthur tour is no exception. Based upon our very own extensive research and experience we have curated a tour which blends historical, archaeological and literary sources to bring, what we hope, is an informative and above all an entertaining day out. Not only do we cover the well known legends of Arthur but we delve deep into Celtic folk lore to give another perspective on this the most famous but enigmatic figures of Britain's dark age. We visit places that most others omit. For example we take a hike up Glastonbury Tor for some stunning views across the countryside, and we visit the White spring where our passengers can bathe in the spring waters. We also slot in other visits, such as Caen Lock and Silbury Hill so that our passengers get the most out of their day.
