Stonehenge

Stonehenge is located near Salisbury, SP4 7DE.  The entrance cost is 22 euro per adult.  It is open from 9:30 in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but the last entrance time is 2:30 pm.  Allow about 2 hours for your visit.  Their official website is here:  Stonehenge  I'd highly recommend booking your tickets in advance so that you can be sure to get in.

You'll park in the Stonehenge parking lot and ride a bus to the site.  The stone circle is roped off so that visitors cannot walk through or next to the stone circle.  You can walk all the way around it, though.  You can also look through the museum or shop at the gift shop.  You can watch a short video of our trip to Stonehenge here:  Stonehenge November 2024

Stonehenge is only a 40 minute drive from Avebury Henge and Stone Circles, and unlike Stonehenge, Avebury Henge is open to the public to touch and walk through -- and it is free, other than the parking.

Here is the location of Stonehenge:

We didn't drive to Stonehenge from this direction, but those that do are able to see the stone circle as they are driving towards it.

As you walk around the circle there are fun spots to try to create funny photos
