Motors: 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.

Monoliths: 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 the ancient county of Wiltshire, 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.

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.

Enhancing your transfer to London, our expert guide will weave together captivating stories of history and culture, ensuring a comfortable and deeply enriching journey. We'll conclude your tour with a seamless and punctual arrival at your chosen London destination.

Our customers say...

"My husband and I brought our 12 year old grandson to London for a surprise trip. We booked a drive to Oxford & the Cotswolds with Albion Touring prior to our arrival. On the day of departure our driver Chris (also Albion’s owner!) arrived spot on time. From the minute we left the doorstep of our flat Chris narrated our drive and brought the history of London from Roman times alive for all of us but especially for our grandson. In Oxford Chris took us thru the city telling us some of the most interesting tales. He engaged our grandson on his level and was constantly asking after our comfort. We saw several villages in the Cotswolds and upon learning that we were cheese lovers to us to his favorite cheese shop. I needed supplies from the local pharmacy and he carried those for me in the village and even ran them back to the vehicle. He went out of his way to take us to the The Kings Men Circle of Stones. A smaller Stonehenge with fabulous legends and we loved it. If you are considering booking a drive with Albion don’t hesitate. I would do this again and again! "

"That man is a GEM – don't let him go away. During our week long stay we spent time with a handful of guides – London Walks, three EF guides, a Blue Badge and several others, but I will state with utmost certainty that not one of them was as genuinely interested and willing to make our day perfect as Chris. He set us at ease straight away with his warmth and down-to-earth personality and proceeded to entertain and enthral us with tales and trivia the whole day through. He asked just enough questions to get an idea of our interests and then managed to please everyone. What a perfect way for us to spend our last day in England...thank you for assigning him to our group...please, please give Chris a gigantic thank-you from us all."
