OVERVIEW
Browse a collection of armored vehicles dating to World War I that clearly showcases the significance of tanks in combat over the past century. The British invented the tank in 1915 and following the Great War out-of-service tanks were stored at a military camp in Bovington. It wasn't until the end of World War II that the Tank Museum officially opened there. Today, it houses a multitude of tanks from all over the world, including Little Willie, a prototype designed to cross the trenches that marked the battlefields of World War I. You can expect to see refurnished tanks from every decade and global conflict such as the Allies' all-purpose Sherman and the workhorse German Panzer from World War II. Another highlight is the Centurion, an armored vehicle that was such a quintessential tank that it was used in the Iraq war of 2003, nearly six decades after it was introduced.

Explore the intriguing site of Stonehenge, one of the most intriguing and ancient sites in England. Situated on a vast plain, the site is truly impressive - shrouded in magic and mystery.
Many believe this sacred site emanates a special atmosphere. Radiocarbon dating reveals this incredible monument was built around 5,000 years ago, during the Neolithic period. Although research tells us how Stonehenge was built, it is unable to tell us what its builders thought and believed, and remains one of the most enthralling mysteries in the world!
The question of who built Stonehenge remains largely unanswered although many attribute the monument to the Druids. Your guide will provide explanations and enable you to view the impressive stones up-close as well as provide you with some time to go to the visitor's centre.

Magnificent Roman remains, Georgian architecture, a spring water spa and first-class shopping wait your discovery. The Romans got it right when they built this gem of a city, and you'll understand why during your visit to Bath.
A 2-hour scenic drive takes you to there. A stroll through Bath is like visiting an open-air museum. Admire the charming Pulteney Bridge, built 1769-74, the only bridge in England with shops on both sides and which features three arches and a central Venetian window. Don't miss the sweeping Royal Crescent, perhaps one of the most beautiful streets in England! The elegant city of Bath with its stately, honey colored Georgian architecture nestled amid rolling countryside, features among England's most beautiful places to visit. The Romans transformed Bath into England's first spa resort and it was revived as a chic spa town in the XVIII century.
Visit the Roman baths - from where this ancient city got its name. The Romans discovered Bath's hot water springs more than 2,000 years ago. Follow your guide through the complex and and learn how the Romans enjoyed the thermal waters thousands of years ago. You'll be surprised to discover just how big the site really is. During the day, enjoy free time for lunch or shopping or both.

For those who prefer to spend a relaxing time in tune with nature, this combination of swannery and gardens is perfect for you. Abbotsbury Swannery is the only place in the world where you are able to walk through the heart of a colony of nesting Mute Swans. The Swannery was established by Benedictine Monks who built a monastery at Abbotsbury and farmed swans to produce food for their lavish banquets. St. Peter's monastery was destroyed in 1539, but some of the ruins are still visible around St. Nicholas' Church in the village. From mid-May to late June, hundreds of fluffy cygnets hatch from eggs in nests on or near the pathways.
Visit Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, established in 1765 by the first Countess of Ilchester as a kitchen garden for her nearby castle. The gardens have been developed since then into a magnificent 20 acres filled with rare and exotic plants from all over the world. Many of these plants were first introductions to this country, discovered by the plant hunting descendants of the countess. The garden is now a mixture of formal and informal, with charming walled garden walks and spectacular woodland valley views. It is world famous for its Camellia Groves and Magnolias, noted for its Rhododendron and Hydrangea collections.

One of Britain's most iconic castles and the charming little village of Corfe are the highlights of this half day tour. Enjoy a scenic drive through the delightful countryside of Dorset County to the village of Corfe. Nearly all periods of history are celebrated in and around the village, which is unequalled in the UK.
Visit the ruins of Corfe Castle - the structure has been an important stronghold since before the time of William the Conqueror and was a royal castle during the medieval period. The dramatic ruins stand on a natural hill guarding the principal route through the Purbeck hills where marble was once quarried. Discover 1,000 years of history as a royal palace and fortress. With fallen walls and secret places, there are tales of treachery and treason around every corner.
After visiting the castle you'll have time at leisure to explore the lovely little village. You'll find small shops and pubs around the square. Much of the present day village was built in the 1700's to a consistently high standard of craftsmanship and has been used as the backdrop for several historical films.
