Inside The Stone Circle At Special Access Stonehenge |
Get Up Close To The Stones At Stonehenge Like Few Visitors Do
Stonehenge is the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. Most visitors to the site are not allowed direct access to the stones, viewing from behind a low rope away from the stones.
On this tour you get that access, with a private viewing of the mysterious monoliths. We will enter the stone circle itself and stand beside the mighty Sarsen rocks towering above us.
Premium Tours Stonehenge Special Access Included Highlights:
- Access to Stonehenge beyond the ropes both early morning and evening sessions
- Guided private viewing of stones
- Entrance to the Roman Baths at Bath
- Walking tour of Bath
- Supper or breakfast break (food not included at George Inn Lacock)
- Luxury air conditioned motor coach and services of a professional guide
Days Of Operation & Duration:
Special access to Stonehenge, the term used for entry beyond the ropes to walk among the stones take place outside public open hours. There are early morning sessions and in the summer months, evening sessions too. A maximum of 25 people are allowed into Stonehenge each Special Access session.
Demand far outstrips supply and each year we get a fraction of the ticket allocation we would like. As a result dates avaialble for Special access are irregular, we go on the days where we can get the tickets!
As a result these tours tend to be sold out well before the date of travel, so do book early to avoid disappointment.
The Stonehenge Special Access morning viewing tour arrives back around 3.30-4 p.m. and the evening viewing tour around 9-9.30 p.m. Of course all of these times are approximate and subject to traffic conditions.

Stonehenge
Built nearly 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge is the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. Most visitors to the site are not allowed direct access to the stones. With Premium Tours you get that access, with a private viewing of the mysterious monoliths.
We will enter the stone circle itself and stand beside the mighty Sarsen rocks towering above us. Our guide will explain the history of this ancient site, pointing out the altar, slaughter and heel stones, above which the sun rises dramatically on the summer solstice.
There will be time to enjoy the peace, away from the crowds, as we experience Stonehenge at its most mystical and atmospheric best. Not to be missed!

George Inn Lacock |
Lacock
Lacock is a little known, picturesque village dating back to the Saxon era. Many of the beautiful buildings originally formed part of an extensive monastic complex and are now owned by The National Trust. So pretty is the village that it has provided the setting for many movies and television dramas including Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and more recently Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
We will take a delightful walk before we enjoy breakfast or supper in The George Inn, a vintage English pub built in 1361. (food/drink not included )
Bath
Bath, a world heritage site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. There will be plenty of time to visit Bath Abbey, or to shop and explore.
Your guide will also conduct an optional walking tour to show you where Charles Dickens lived and worked as a young man, and a give you a chance to sample some delicious cheeses fresh from the local dairy farms.
Then we will enter the magnificent Roman Baths, where over one million litres of boiling water still burst free from the hot springs everyday.
