Salisbury Cathedral
The beautiful and historic Salisbury Cathedral is an international symbol of Christianity and a world class heritage attraction. The spire is the tallest in England, 123 meters (404 feet). Once inside you'll be impressed by the Cathedral's graceful, elegant proportions. We visit The Chapter House home to one of only 4 surviving copies of The Magna Carta and see the oldest working clock in Europe, dating back to 1386.

Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago the huge 40 tonne stones were dragged from over 280 miles away in Wales. Who built it and why remains a mystery today. Some say that it was built as a religious temple, or an astronomical clock. Stonehenge continues to enthrall the imagination and captivate the heart of every visitor.

Bath
This beautiful Georgian city justly deserves its status as a World Heritage Site, with its delightful terraces, elegant crescents and stunning architecture, on our panoramic tour of the city we will show you the crescents, Pulteney Bridge modeled on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence and Bath Abbey. Then into the Roman Baths built over 2,000 years and still in perfect working order.

This fantastic full-day tour is a must for fans of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, Deep Purple, Queen, Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Marc Bolan, Clapton, Page, Thin Lizzy, the legendary Yardbirds and many, many more.

Just a short ride to the west of London lie some of the city’s prettiest neighbourhoods, sitting beside the rolling river Thames. Here we find the cradle of British rock ‘n’ roll and the locations used for dozens of rock videos, including all of the Beatle films and videos. As we take our ticket to ride through Ealing, Richmond, Twickenham, Barnes, Shepherds Bush, we visit near legendary sites where British Rock was nurtured; the Ealing Blues Club (southern versions of Liverpool’s Cavern Club); Richmond’s ‘Crawdaddy Club’, birthplace of the Stones; Eel Pie Island, where amongst others a young Eric Clapton learned his trade; and the Who’s ‘Mod’ club, ‘The Goldhawk’. We include lots of present and past stars’ homes, including those of Jagger, Townsend, members of Queen, and Deep Purple’s original communal house.You’ll visit famed recording studios and rehearsal rooms (including where ‘Deep Purple in Rock’ and ‘Tommy’ were rehearsed) and see where Marshall amps originated. We’ll visit the shrine to Marc Bolan beside the tree that took his life. Throughout our day we make full use of our DVD playing facilities to help recreate some famous scenes and be reminded of historic performances. Beatle fans will enjoy putting themselves in the picture at the historic home and gardens where the Fab Four shot the Paperback Writer/ Rain video (used on the Ed Sullivan show), where Ringo walked along the banks of the river Thames in ‘Hard Day’s Night’, and where the lads entered the famed, four front doors from ‘Help’. In all, we include approaching 100 top rock sites and, of course, fill you in on the history of the bands!

Long-suffering partners who are ‘dragged along’ will also enjoy their day, seeing some marvelous riverside locations, and even a famed historic house! Unlike the Stones we guarantee you’ll get satisfaction!
