Travel to the Neolithic stones that have stood on the Salisbury Plains for around 5,000 years for an unforgettable experience.

Discover the fascinating theories surrounding this prehistoric monument. Was Stonehenge a place of sun worship, a healing sanctuary, a sacred burial site or something different altogether? What cannot be denied is the ingenuity of the builders of Stonehenge. With only very basic tools at their disposal, they shaped the stones and formed the mortises and tenons that linked upright to lintels. Using antlers and bones, they dug the pits to hold the stones and made the banks and ditches that enclosed them. As you walk around, attempt to piece together yourself how, who and why the stones came to rest there.

Visit the Stonehenge Visitor Centre, which houses many permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Jack the Ripper Murders

In the early hours of 31 August 1888 a man walking down a dark lane in London’s Whitechapel area discovered a shapeless bundle lying on the ground. Curious, he went over to investigate. His gruesome discovery of a murdered East End prostitute began one of the most famous man-hunts in criminal history. The mystery of the Whitechapel murders is one of the world’s greatest unsolved cases. Since 1888, Ripperologists and amateur sleuths have been trying – and failing – to discover the identity of the man known as Jack the Ripper. Can you solve the riddle on this spooky Whitechapel walk?
