Itinerary
Uffington Castle
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeUffington ‘Castle’, which occupies the summit of Whitehorse Hill, is a rare and outstanding example of a large Iron Age hillfort. The famous White Horse is the oldest chalk-cut hill figure in Britain, perhaps over 3,000 years old. Nearby Dragon Hill, a natural mound about 10 metres high, is named for its association with the legend of St George. The drive from central London is approximately 2 hours.Wayland's Smithy
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWayland's Smithy is an atmospheric historic site about a mile's walk along the Ridgeway from the Uffington White Horse. A Neolithic chambered long barrow, it was once believed to have been the home of Wayland, the Saxon god of metal working. Human remains found on the site indicate that 14 people were interred in an earlier burial structure between 3590 and 3550 BC. Between 3460 and 3400 BC a second far larger barrow was constructed on top. It is the ruins of this that can be explored by visitors to the site today. The countryside walk you will enjoy from Uffington Castle is a 3.2 mile round trip. The drive to Windsor Castle is around 1 hour and 30 minutes.Windsor Castle
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedWindsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 40 monarchs. The return drive to London will be approximately 1 hour.
