Echoes of History: Stonehenge and Bath Adventure
by WenStonehenge and Bath: A Day of Ancient Wonders
Embarking on a day steeped in history, our journey began in London at 10:20 am with Golden Tours. Our "Stonehenge Inner Circle & Bath" package, at £160, promised an unforgettable experience. First stop: Bath. We savored a delightful two-course lunch before a self-guided walk through its charming streets. A surprise visit to the renowned Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House yielded the famed Sally Lunn Bun, a sweet treat.



Browns Bath
warm, inviting. Creamy pea and vegetable risotto, vibrant and fresh. Followed by delicate, tangy sorbets, a sweet, icy finish. A perfect, light two-course lunch.



Pulteney Bridge
Pulteney Bridge is a beautiful bridge that spans the River Avon in Bath, England. It is one of only four bridges in the world that has shops lining both sides of the bridge. The weir's roar filled the air, a constant rush of water. I watched gulls swoop, their cries mingling with the falls' thunder. Tiny birds darted amongst the stone, a vibrant contrast to the ancient bridge's might.

Bath Guildhall Market
a sensory feast. Stalls overflow with local cheeses, artisan bread, and vibrant flowers. The air hums with chatter, a delightful mix of old and new.


Sally Lunn's
Descending into Sally Lunn's basement, the ancient bakery's heart revealed itself. Time stood still amidst the worn brick and massive ovens. A hurried glimpse into history, the air thick with the promise of sweet buns. We left with a Sally Lunn bun, a taste of tradition to savor later.






Stonehenge: Unraveling the Enigma
Stonehenge's truth remains shrouded. It's a Neolithic monument, built in stages, likely for ritual and burial. The bluestones, from Wales, suggest vast logistical feats. While theories abound, the precise "why" eludes us. It stands, a testament to ancient ingenuity and enduring mystery, not aliens.

Took a team of 800 people to shift just one of those rocks!

Inside Stonehenge
Inside Stonehenge, I feel small and amazed. The huge stones, standing for thousands of years, make you wonder. It's quiet, like a special, old place. Some feel connected to the past, others just think it's cool. Everyone feels something, a mix of awe and mystery, looking at stones that tell no clear story.



Whispers of Ancient Stones
Standing within Stonehenge's inner circle, a hush fell. The stones, weathered giants, whispered of ancient rituals. History and mystery intertwined. How did they move these colossal rocks, some from 450 miles away? A feat of engineering, or something more? The air thrummed with unanswered questions, a palpable sense of the past's enduring enigma.
