Great West Way® Travel Magazine | Issue 03

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
BE PREPARED
Businesses on the Great West Way
have been working hard to make sure
everything is safe before opening
their doors and welcoming visitors
back once more. Things may look
slightly different though, so please
be patient as we all get used to new
ways of doing things. Check for
restrictions before you travel and
book in advance where necessary.

EXPERIENCE NEW ATTRACTIONS
› If you want to visit a particular
attraction, you may need to pre-book
a time slot (even if you are a member).
Check online before you set off.
› When planning your trip, check that
important facilities like toilets and car
parks are open before you travel.
› Some of the best known beauty
spots on the Great West Way are
likely to be extremely popular. Don't
follow the herd - get off the beaten
track and discover our hidden gems to
avoid the crowds.
ENGLISH HERITAGE’S
STONEHENGE SKYSCAPE
Stonehenge Skyscape is a new virtual
experience of the skies above the iconic
stone circle. With the help of Skyscape,
a website showing a live view, you can
explore how Stonehenge related to the
skies and what these celestial bodies
might have meant to Neolithic people,
learn about movements of the sun,
moon and planets - experience a live
sunrise over Stonehenge, and see the
journey of the stars and the moon from
within the stone circle.

THE INNER HALL,
WINDSOR CASTLE
Created in the 1820s by King George
IV, Windsor Castle's Inner Hall, which
has been closed for more than 150
years, is now open again for visitors
to use as an entrance hall, just as
official visitors to the Castle once
did. See the State Apartments, the
world's most famous dolls' house, or
pause and enjoy refreshments in the
new café. For guaranteed entry while
capacity is reduced, please book your
ticket in advance.

› Keep 1 metre + apart from anyone
outside your household – this not
only applies to walking, but running,
cycling, sitting and sunbathing too.
› Wear your face covering at all times
when on public transport including
buses, trains, taxis, and minicabs.
› Make sure you have a bank card
as many outlets are currently not
accepting cash.
› Take hand sanitiser with you – you
don’t know where will be open for
you to wash your hands.
› Leave the car behind where possible
and visit nearby attractions by
walking or cycling.
