Activity itinerary

Blowing Stone
  • 30m
The Blowing Stone is a perforated sarsen stone, located in Kingston Lisle, Oxfordshire. Legend has it that King Alfred used the stone to summon his troops before the Battle of Ashdown in 871 AD. When blown into, the stone emits a loud, trumpet-like sound that can be heard for miles
White Horse Hill
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The White Horse may have served as a territorial marker or fertility symbol. The site's strategic position along the Ridgeway, Britain's oldest road, suggests it was a significant ceremonial location. The alignment with the winter solstice hints at its use in ancient rituals.
Ashbury (Pass by)
Passing by this ancient village associated with the legends of Alfred the Great.

Avebury is the largest megalithic stone circle in the world, dating back over 4,500 years. It may have been used for rituals, astronomical observations, and communal gatherings. The nearby Red Lion Pub is said to be haunted. We will have lunch in Avebury, where you can choose to eat at the Pub, or have your own picnic.
St James's Church

West Kennet Long Barrow

Silbury Hill

Silbury Hill is the largest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe. Its purpose remains a mystery, but some theories suggest it was a symbolic "pregnant" Earth Mother goddess.

Hackpen White Horse (Pass by)
We take in this view of another white horse at the end of the day as we consider why it is called the Druid's Tumulus!
