The world famous Stonehenge is situated around 90 miles west from Central London and is well within a comfortable day trip.

The nearest town with good public transport and facilities is Salisbury, a medieval cathedral city. Worth a visit in its own right. About 24 miles north of Stonehenge is Avebury, another World Heritage Site with even larger stone rings to Stonehenge and unlike Stonehenge with free access to the stones themselves.

Getting To Stonehenge From London
From a central London hotel its just under two hours one way to Stonehenge by vehicle. Most visitors stay at Stonehenge around one hour.
Stonehenge can be visited independently using public transport but overall this will not be much if any cheaper than taking a tour.
We have a detailed page on getting to Stonehenge by public transport from London via Salisbury.

The easiest way to get to Stonehenge is by guided tour. Your problem here will be the vast choice available from London daily. Visiting by guided tour is no more expensive than travelling independently. We guide you through the tours on our Stonehenge Tours From London page.

Stonehenge Explained - A Pre Visit Briefing
There is no doubting that a significant number of people approach Stonehenge, stop, shrug their shoulders and move on wondering what all the fuss is about. We would suggest that if you just turn up 'cold' at Stonehenge waiting to be entertained you too may become one of these people, you really need to go to Stonehenge full of anticipation about what you are going to see and experience.

Our What is Stonehenge? page lays out details about when Stonehenge was built, by who and what they built.

More intriguingly we follow this by discussing all the mysteries and theories about Stonehenge. Nobody knows for sure why Stonehenge was built or even how and there is a whole industry providing often conflicting 'facts'.

We try and lay out the main strands addressing what Stonehenge was used for plus all the other associated mysteries on our Stonehenge Mysteries page.
