Sacred Tours from Gothic Image

From Avalon to Camelot

A journey through the myths of time

This journey is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the enchanted realms of Arthur, Merlin and Morgan le Fey - the characters of the Arthurian Legends - and the landscapes in which these magical legends are understood to have taken place.

We visit Glastonbury, Tintagel, and the great stone circles of Avebury and Stonehenge in south-west England.

This is a special chance to experience the history, mystery and magic of the landscape and legends of ancient southern Britain, with a special accent on Arthurian times.

Sacred Scotland

The Blessed Isles

Scotland is a land of heart-stopping beauty. On this journey we sail to the Blessed Isles (the Hebrides and the Orkneys) where lie some of the most evocative ancient sacred sites in Europe.

We stay on the magical Isle of Iona - a gorgeous jewel set in an aquamarine sea. We explore and discover the ancient and modern day culture of the windswept islands of Orkney, Lewis and Skye. We are spellbound by the arcane Templar art and architecture of Roslin (Rosslyn) Chapel made famous in the book The Da Vinci Code. And refreshed and renewed by the enchanted fairy realms at the Fairy Glen of Rosemarkie.

Along the way we taste the peculiar local cuisine - the celebrated haggis - and we are entertained by local pipers, poets, singers and raconteurs. Altogether a fun time for all.
