温莎城堡其实也是涵盖在London Pass里的。但由于其距离伦敦市中心较远，交通较为不便利，往返所需时间较长。综合多方面考虑之后，我选择了本地旅行社的温莎城堡+巴斯+巨石阵一日游路线。很多本地旅行社的一日游都是从地铁Victoria站附近的Victory Couch Station出发。
Windsor Castle is included in the attractions covered by London Pass. However, it is a bit far from London and the transportation is a little bit inconvenient. After consideration, I chose a one-day tour provided by local travel agency, which include Windsor Castle, Bath town as well as the Stonehenge. Lots of day tours offered by local travel agency depart from Victory Couch Station, which locates near the Victoria tube station.

温莎城堡是世界上有人居住的，历史最悠久、面积最大的城堡。它是现任女王的官方居住地之一。女王在城堡中时会升起皇室的旗帜。
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen, whose royal flags fly from the Round Tower when she is in residence.

一日游的路线只在温莎预留了不到两小时的逗留时间，还好当天进入城堡排队的队伍不是很长，据说旺季时排队进入城堡可能会花上一个多小时的时间。参观完几个厅室后，在城堡前的小广场看了午间的换岗仪式。
The one-day tour only allows us to stay at Windsor Castle for two hours. The queue at the entrance was not quite long the day I visited. It is said that you may spend more than one hour in queue at peak season. After visiting several houses and rooms, I watched the changing the guard ceremony at the small square in front of the Castle.

• 换岗仪式于每周一、三、五、六的11:00am举行。如果没有时间观看白金汉宫前的换岗仪式，温莎城堡也是一个选择。
• Changing the Guards ceremony usually takes place at 11:00am on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. If you miss the opportunity to watch the Changing the Guards ceremony at Buckingham Palace, the ceremony at Windsor will be another option.

可惜时间有限，没有机会在美丽的温莎小镇停留，只能匆匆跳上旅行大巴，奔向下一个目的地，巴斯。
As the time is limited, it is a pity that I don’t have the chance to look around at Windsor town, which is really beautiful. Jumped on the tour bus, I was heading for my next destination, Bath.

罗马浴场位于巴斯小镇世界遗产的中心。这里是古罗马时期最佳的温泉疗养胜地。这座城市独有的温泉从这个浴场涌出，至今仍在向外流着自然的热温泉水。巴斯小镇的名字也是由此而来。每年来这个罗马浴场参观的游客超过一百万人，它也是英国最受欢迎的景点之一。
The famous Roman Baths locates at the heart of the City of Bath World Heritage Site. It consists of the remarkably preserved remains of one of the greatest religious spas of the ancient Rome. The city’s unique thermal springs rise in the site and the Baths still flow with natural hot water. That’s how the city is named, as Bath. The Roman Baths attracts over one million visitors a year – making it one of the most visited heritage attractions in the United Kingdom.

如果时间允许，建议可以单独给巴斯安排一日的行程。巴斯小镇还有很多值得一看的地方，比如说皇家新月及环形建筑 和简·奥斯汀纪念馆等。
If time allows, I will suggest arranging a full day to have a deeper look into Bath. There are many attractions which worth to visit, such as Royal Crescent and The Circus, Jane Austen Centre, etc.

在做整个行程计划的时候，我纠结了很久要不要去巨石阵。一是由于路途较远，二是网上的评价就是荒地里散落的几块大石头。但是这个频频出现在各探索频道纪录片中的巨石阵，一直触发着我的好奇心。于是在安排行程时，看到这涵盖巨石阵的一日游，毫不犹豫选择了它。
When I was making my travel plan, I struggled for a while on whether visiting Stonehenge or not. On one hand, the travel distance is a bit far. On the other hand, the visiting reviews on the Internet express it as a few blocks scatter in the wild. But I have watched this Stonehenge in so many discovery documentaries and it really triggers my curiosity over it. So when I find out this one-day tour, which includes the visit of Stonehenge, I made my decision without a second thought.

英国最出名的标志之一就是这神秘的巨石阵，考古学家认为其建于公元前3100年左右。有人认为建造这样宏伟的巨石阵是纪录太阳的轨迹，有人认为是祭神所用，但其真正的建造目的至今未知。
Stonehenge is one of the most famous symbols of England. Archaeologists estimate that it is built around 3100 BC. Some people believe that the magnificent Stonehenge is built to record the track of the Sun. And some people think that it might be used to sacrifice to a god. But no one is sure about the true answer behind.

游客车辆需要在巨石阵景点售票处停车，游客转程官方区间车才能进入景区，下车后步行一段路程才能真正靠近巨石阵。
Tourist vehicles can only park at the ticket office of Stonehenge. Tourists should take the official inter-zone bus to reach Stonehenge. After getting off the bus, you still need to walk a distance and finally have a closer look on it.

一日游的大巴大约在晚上20:00回到Victoria Couch Station。行程略显仓促，较多的时间花在了往返大巴的路途上。但若想在有限的时间里领略了这些景点，可以充分利用本地的旅行社资源。
The one-day tour came back to Victoria Couch Station at around 20:00. The schedule is a little tight as most of the time is spent on the road. But if you would like to visit these attractions within a limited time, you may want to fully utilize the resources of local travel agency.
