Spectacular @salisburycathedral is a #medieval #gothic masterpiece. Built 800 years ago in just 38 years! Combine seeing it with nearby @stonehenge on a stunning #privatetour from Bath. #galahadtours #salisbury #stonehenge It’s home to 👉 ✅ The world’s oldest #clock ✅ The tallest spire ✅ 1215 Magna Carta #exhibition

The #wintersolstice is what we believe to have been the main event & ceremonial focus of #stonehenge The giant stones were assembled & oriented precisely to frame the sunset on December 21st. This would have been a very auspicious, possibly spiritual moment for our Stone Age ancestors 4,500 years ago, who would have relied upon & celebrated the days getting longer again to farm their crops. #galahadtours @stonehenge @englishheritage @visitwiltshire @greatwestway @visitbath
