This is out in the middle of nowhere (understandably), so you're either going to have to pay for a bus to it, go with a tour, or pay the 7.50 pounds for parking (although I saw a previous comment saying that it is possible to park in the lay-by for free. I didn't know that). As much as I adore... More

It's hard to imagine this site as it was hundreds of years ago. Amazing. Our visit was on a cold and windy day so that took some of the pleasure out of it but nonetheless it was amazing. The self guided audio tour was very informative. Although the gift shop was extremely over crowded I still enjoyed my visit.

If you're going to visit Stonehenge, it pays to spend a little bit extra to get the privilege of having access to the stones. You can't touch them of course but you are right there among them. It's a great experience (a regular admittance just allows you to stand on the sidewalk around the perimeter of the stones - 15... More

We once passed by Stonehenge in the car and were a little disappointed that such a precious site was so close to the main road. On visiting years later we were stunned by the history, the mystery and the atmosphere of the site. We did not have to queue as we are English Heritage members but it would have been... More

have had a few great trips here but the best one has to be the sunset tour! you are actually aloud as a small booked group into the circle of stones - past the no go barrier after closing to the public! go to www.english-heritage.org.uk - and look for the Stonehenge circle access - here you will find the trip...

As part of a 3 day road trip through the Wiltshire area, I visited Stonehenge. It was amazing to see the site after many years of seeing it on TV, in print media and on line. I would recommend going early in the moring, I arrived around 10AM and there was no line. The fee of £8 is a fair... More

I would highly recommend The English Bus Company if you want to see Stonehenge. This small fairly new firm has a wonderful comfortable coach ( named 'Eddie@') that is air-conditioned with 2 seats on one side of the bus and 1 seat on the other. It holds about 16 passengers plus driver and guide. Chris and Andrew are funny, (... More

We visited Stonehenge in just 15 minutes with our2 kids of 10 and 12 years old. We didnot bother to go into the attraction but just walk along the fence which gives you almost the same views as from inside the fence. Saves a lt of time waiting at the ticket boots.

Visited last year, whilst on the way back from a 2 week trip across the West Country with my girlfriend. I can't believe I even bothered to pay for the parking... It just goes to show that everyone is out to get your money and give you very little in return. 'English Heritage' does it again...they're an utter disgrace to... More
