Meet your professional driver guide on arrival at Southampton Cruise Terminal
at 8am and relax in the comfort of an air-conditional vehicle. You’ll start
the day by travelling to the New Forest and we will begin with a visit to
Beaulieu which means “Beautiful Place” and that is exactly what it is. The
town is located on the stunning Beaulieu River which attracts a wealth of wild
birds.
Our next stop is Lyndhurst affectionately known by locals as the capital of
the Forest. Lyndhurst has been visited by kings and queens staying at the
Royal Manor throughout the centuries. The local church contains the grave of
Alice Liddell, who was the inspiration for Lewis Carol’s “Alice in
Wonderland”.
From here we continue our journey through the New Forest to Brockenhurst which
has been officially declared ‘Britain’s Most Beautiful Place to Live’. The
area is home to ponies, deer, donkeys and cows – all of which are known to
roam the main street.
The last New Forest village that we visit is Burley which is most famous for
its witchcraft having been home to a coven of White Witches and a haunt of
Smugglers.
We now leave the New Forest and travel to Salisbury a historic city that grew
up around its impressive cathedral. Upon arrival, you enjoy a walking tour of
the city with its many charming timber framed houses and different areas which
were dedicated to specific trades, such as Fish Row, Butcher Row and Poultry
Cross.
After your walking tour of the city you explore over 800 years of history at
Salisbury Cathedral, one of the UK’s most iconic medieval buildings. The
Cathedral is a magnificent example of early English Gothic architecture with
fascinating treasures including the original 1215 Magna Carta, one of only
four in the world. Also you get to see Britain’s tallest spire and the world’s
oldest working mechanical clock.
We then drive back to your Southampton cruise in plenty of time for your
departure. Alternatively, if you have finished your cruise then we are happy
to drop you off at your London hotel or Heathrow Airport for an extra fee of
£75.
