History and Heritage
Buildings and Settlements
Project yourself back through the centuries and explore 5000 years of history through the buildings and settlements in which our ancestors lived.
Visit the many Neolithic and Bronze Age barrows and henges, of which Stonehenge World Heritage Site is one. Climb up the Iron Age earthworks to the location of ancient hill forts, and sense the importance of the Romans through the remaining villas, bath houses and city walls. Imagine the lives of the Saxons and the Normans whilst standing in a mighty stone castle. And see how a more settled England led the wealthy to show off their riches through the opulent homes of the Tudor period and the 17th Century. Promenade through a Georgian Spa town, or wind your way through the narrow village streets to taste the eclectic mix of architecture which the South West has to offer.
You might choose to stay in an historical building; we can help you with this as well as giving you details of which buildings and settlements to visit, from the famous sights to the hidden treasures, and we will make sure you know about any events of interest taking place during your stay.
