Experience the thrill of motoring history at Beaulieu Motor Museum and the awe-inspiring enigma of Stonehenge.

Beaulieu Motor Museum

Just a short 30-minute drive from Southampton, the world-famous Beaulieu Motor Museum beckons, boasting an impressive collection of over 250 classic and vintage cars, including the iconic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and outlandish creations from Top Gear. You'll not only see these automotive treasures, but also experience speed record breakers, learn about British car history, and enjoy interactive exhibits, all within the beautiful Beaulieu estate, making it a fun and interesting day out for everyone.

Stonehenge

We take a drive through the New Forest (look out for the ponies roaming freely around) to the World heritage site of Stonehenge. We will take the side roads to take in some splendid thatched villages on the way.

Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, consists of a ring of standing stones, each a massive sarsen or bluestone, arranged in a circular pattern. The site's construction, spanning several phases from around 3000 BCE to 1600 BCE, remains a subject of intense archaeological debate.

The most iconic feature is the outer circle of sarsen stones, topped with horizontal lintels, and the inner ring of smaller bluestones. Surrounding the stone circles are earthworks, including a ditch and bank. The purpose of Stonehenge is still unknown, but theories range from a burial ground to a ceremonial site or an astronomical calendar, all contributing to its enduring mystery and historical significance.

Straw roof Bronze Age huts.

The Visitor Centre provides an immersive experience, allowing you to visualise the stone circle's evolution through the ages. Discover locally unearthed artefacts, including the tools used in its construction, and learn about the theories surrounding its purpose, from marking solstices to lunar observations. Outside, witness reconstructions of Bronze Age huts, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who shaped this ancient landscape.

Throughout your shore excursion, your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into history and culture, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience. We'll conclude our tour with a timely return to Southampton Cruise Terminal.
