Private Tour of Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral and Windsor Castle with Chauffeurs UK
 The soaring spire of Salisbury Cathedral is England's tallest at 123 metres (404 feet). A magnificent piece of architecture, the Cathedral was built between 1220 and 1258 and is unique for its sense of harmony. The Cloisters and the Chapter House are outstanding and the library holds one of the four copies of the Magna Carta. The Cathedral Close is a beautiful, walled precinct of splendid houses dating from medieval times to the 18th century.
The State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto, Gainsborough and the famous triple portrait of Charles I by Sir Anthony van Dyck. In 1992 fire destroyed or damaged more than 100 rooms at the Castle. By good fortune the rooms worst affected were empty at the time, and as a result, few of the Castle's artistic treasures were destroyed. The highly acclaimed restoration work, completed in 1997, is a testament to the extraordinary skills of some of the finest craftsmen in Europe. From October to March visitors can also enjoy George IV's private apartments (the Semi-State Rooms), among the most richly decorated interiors in the Castle. St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. Within the chapel are the tombs of ten sovereigns, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour, and Charles I.  A footbridge across the Thames connects Windsor with Eton and its famous school, where Princes William and Harry were educated, and downstream is the meadow at Runnymede where King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215.
