We end the day at the stone circle complex at Avebury. After exploring the unique shops in the town we head over to the Chalice Well Gardens, drink from the spring and learn of the fate of the holy chalice from the Last Supper. In the ruins of the once great Glastonbury Abbey we find the grave site of Arthur and learn of older legends like that of Joseph of Aramathea, the Holy Grail and the Crown of Thorns.

Stopping for a photo opportunity where legend tells us Arthur was brought after being mortally wounded in battle. Onwards to the Isle of Avalon, through backroads of villages built of flint and thatch, from chalk downland into rolling limestone hills to Glastonbury Tor. There are many unanswered questions and many more theories and ideas that are open to debate, your guide will explain what is known and what may never be known and then leave you to explore and ponder its awe inspiring presence. Our first stop of the day will give you a chance to learn more about this monument, of its builders and those that worshipped there. We leave London behind and head west to the rolling chalk hills of Wiltshire, here on windswept Salisbury Plain the great, mysterious Neolithic circle of Stonehenge stands high on the horizon. Travel to the Kingdom of Wessex to visit ancient stone circles, the mystical Island of Avalon and the legends of King Arthur **EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT FOR QM STUDENTS!
