Thursday Day 4, After a full British breakfast at 'The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge' hotel’ We will check-out of 'The Park Plaza Hotel'. Today we will go to Salisbury Plain the home of Stonehenge. At Stonehenge we will experience what has yet to be totally explained by historians. It turns out that there are a few folktales detailing how Stonehenge was constructed to go along with the many legitimate theories on how it was built. The stories involve Merlin the wizard, the Devil, and giants. I thought the legends were fun to learn about, so I wanted to share my favorite with you (What I'm sure is true!) The myth involving Merlin the wizard comes from the writer Geoffrey of Monmouth, who lived in the twelfth century. According to the story, there was a battle during the fifth century in which many British nobles were killed fighting against the Saxons. The nobles were buried on Salisbury Plain (the modern-day location of Stonehenge). The king, Aureoles Ambrosias, wanted to build a memorial to honor the fallen nobles. He wanted to use a stone circle in Ireland, called the Giants’ Ring, as the memorial. Legend had it that giants had brought the stones to Ireland from Africa because they had magical properties. The king sent Merlin with an army to retrieve the stones from Ireland. The army prevailed in battle against the Irish but couldn’t move the stones, so Merlin used his wizardry to move the stones to England. You can belive the below BBC Documentary or me! You will have a great opportunity for photos atStonehenge.After our photo opportunity at Stonehenge, we are off to York. We will check-in at the Radisson York Hotel.
