Crossing the Salisbury Plain in the South West of England, to see the 11th Century Windsor castle.
As you proceed towards Stonehenge, the temple suddenly appear in the distance: standing alone proud and gigantic in the middle of the Wiltshire countryside. It sends out an irresistible and overwelming sense of mystery.
Stonehenge is a referral point for the followers of astrology, of the solar movements, of the partial eclipses and on the special occasion of the 21st June, the area is attracting big crowds of various cults and New Age travellers who gather here and try out the strength of the electromagnetic field.
A place for meditation, archaeological studies, contemplation for points of magnetic conjunctions and extraordinary feelings. At the entrance, two 7 feet high stones welcome you with an invitation to touch them for your own personal and natural contacts with the past.
Nothing prepares you for the strong emotion caused by the realisation that you are near this mysterious and prehistoric site with its intriguing and ancient history.
No sooner does one recover from the extraordinary visit to the megalithic temple, that the tour continuing across the river Avon to Bath plunges you back into the 1st. Century.
The City of Bath is one of the most famous secrets of England. Still partly buried undiscovered underground, the Romans established a complicated system of baths and a Sacred Temple, over a natural hot spring, nearly 2000 years ago!
During the time at your disposal, you can taste the Hot Spring waters and there is a chance of suprvise the progression of the works for the building of new swimming pools and a Spa nearby. Each day, 1.5 million litres of Hot Water still pour out from underground from the natural spring.
The Spa was rediscovered in the 18th c. and the Palladian stile of architecture built. It can be seen at its best in its most famous Georgian squares called: “Circus” and “Crescent”. You may also admire Bath Abbey, Jane Austin Museum, Sully Lunn House and Pulteney Bridge.
