Bath, Windsor Castle and Avebury stone circle tour
Windsor
Castle is the largest inhabited castle in the world and remains Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II weekend home, but is not exclusively used
by the Queen on the weekends. The Queen entertains heads of state at
Windsor Castle usually during April. The history of Windsor Castle spans
900 years which began as a wooden structure built on a mound 100 ft
above the River Thames 22 miles from London, considered one days march
for a Norman army. Today Windsor Castle is still a working Royal Palace
and also accepts tourist visits. The grand state apartments, St Georges
Chapel and Queen Mary's dolls house can be visited.

lunch at a select country inn, and visit Avebury stone circle nearby.

make Avebury a vast and majestic cathedral. The Avebury site covers
over 28 acres and is one of Europe's most important neolithic monuments.
