We had to wake up super early this morning to make it to our special Stonehenge tour. Dad purchased tickets in advance for us to go into the actual stone circle rather than just walk around the path outside of it. It was amazing to get up close to the old stones! Since our tour was early in the morning the sun came up through the fog which made it feel eerie and mysterious. Of all the things we've seen on our trip Stonehenge is the oldest by far! It was built around 3,000 BC and still stands today! We took loads of pictures and had an awesome morning. After our tour ended we headed back to our Bed and Breakfast to eat.
We packed up and began the drive home, but we stopped to see the Salisbury Cathedral on the way. the old Cathedral is beautiful! The gothic architecture is incredible and the spire is the tallest in England! We had fun walking around, taking pictures, and stopping for lunch.
Next we drove to Highclere Castle where BBC's series Downton Abbey is filmed. We were able to tour the inside of the castle where we saw a painting of Charles I done by Van Dyke! Afterwards we walked through the gardens and took pictures on the green.
On the way home we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some food to make dinner. We arrived home safe and sound after a fun mini trip into the countryside!
