Excursions

Excursion Types

Excursion Overview

Private Sunrise Stonehenge Visit: Immerse yourself in a rare and intimate experience at one of the world's most renowned heritage sites, Stonehenge. As the sun begins to rise on a new day, our group will gather for a special ceremony at the Heel Stone, followed by exclusive access to the Stone Circle itself.

Glastonbury: The heart of our immersion: Glastonbury. Regarded to be the heart chakra  of the Earth, it is also known as the Isle of Avalon. Many mysteries and mystical surround Glastonbury from Priestesses of Avalon to Jesus, Mary Magdalene and modern pilgrims. We will explore the Tor, the Abbey, the 12th century Magdalene Chapel, the Chalice Well, the Sacred Waters pool, and visit the last remaining “Oaks of Avalon” Gog & Magog (around 2000 years old). On this St Michael leyline we will visit the home of the Arthurian legend at Cadbury Castle, believed to be the site of Camelot. Glastonbury “spiritual mecca of the West” is itself a fun and eclectic town that brings together people who walk the path of spirit, and the mystical.

The Roman Baths: Constructed in around 70AD as a grand bathing and socializing complex, the Roman Baths is one of the best-preserved Roman remains in the world, where 1,170,000 liters of steaming spring water, reaching 46°C, still fills the bathing site every single day. The Roman Baths is the site of extensive ruins and an interactive museum filled with many treasures and visual snippets that transport you back to Roman times and the lives of the Aquae Sulis people. Walk on ancient pavements as the Romans did 2,000 years ago, and explore chambers historically housing changing rooms and tepid plunge pools.

Avebury & St Michael Leyline: A lesser-known stone circle sites of Avebury is an energetic powerhouse of Southern England. The St Michael leyline activates this sacred landscape that was so important to the Neolithic ancestors and we’ll immerse ourselves in those energies as we visit Avebury Stone Circle, Silbury Hill and West Kennett Longbarrow. Avebury is the largest stone circle in the world and the center of a landscape pentagram of sacred sites that is the activation key for our Lion’s Gate experience.

Cotswolds: The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As one of the United Kingdom’s most-loved regions, The Cotswolds is home to countless beautiful and quaint villages that encompass quintessential English country living. Our journey will take us to Castle Combe, one of the most photographed places in the Cotswolds. There have been no new buildings built in Castle Combe since the 17th century in a bid to keep its idyllic appearance. Notable TV and film productions have taken place in this village, including Downton Abbey, War Horse and Doctor Doolittle, and The Crown.

Magna Carta Visit: Witness one of the world's most significant historical documents, the Magna Carta, which has inspired freedom movements across cultures for centuries. Preserved at Salisbury Cathedral since its creation in 1215, this original document offers a profound glimpse into 800 years of history.
