About this tour
A private driven tour linking two of England's most significant historical monuments. Your local driver collects you from port and takes you to Stonehenge, the prehistoric stone circle on Salisbury Plain, then to Salisbury Cathedral, home to one of the four surviving copies of Magna Carta. The 5.5-hour excursion covers roughly 40 miles of English countryside. Optional extension into New Forest National Park, where around 3,000 wild ponies roam freely, available at hourly rates.

- Flexible itinerary; add stops at your own pace
What to expect
Your driver collects you from the cruise terminal and heads toward Stonehenge, a journey of roughly an hour depending on traffic. You'll have dedicated time to explore the stone circle at your own pace—the scale is striking when you're standing amongst them. From there, it's a short drive to Salisbury Cathedral, an exceptional example of 13th-century Gothic architecture. The cathedral's interior is peaceful, and seeing the Magna Carta in its original parchment form is genuinely moving. If you've opted for the New Forest extension, you'll drive through ancient woodland where semi-wild ponies, cattle and deer have grazed for centuries. The return journey to your ship is timed to suit your needs.
