Salisbury
to Stonehenge Tour Bus - The Stonehenge Tour
From
March 2008, the ordinary bus service to Stonehenge (route 3) and the
old City Sightseeing Stonehenge Tour ceased.
Its
replacement is 'The Stonehenge Tour' a dedicated Stonehenge Bus
that goes broadly every 30 minutes from Salisbury Rail Station and
Bus Station to Stonehenge.
On the return trip the bus stops at Old Sarum, an old Iron Age Hill
Fort subsequently used by the Romans and Normans. This is 'Old Salisbury',
the town moved down into the valley below in medieval times.

Stonehenge
by Public Bus
With the advent of the Stonehenge Tour Bus, the no 3 public bus ceased.
You can still do Stonehenge by public bus, but it now involves a walk
up to Stonehenge from Amesbury.
Take the number 5 or 6 bus from Salisbury Bus Station to Amesbury,
a 25 minute ride. Buses run approximately every 30 minutes Monday
to Saturdays, every 2-3 hours Sunday.
The direct walk up to Stonehenge from Amesbury is about 20-30 minutes.
There is also a heritage walk that starts and finishes at Amesbury
and is posted on the official Stonehenge web site. This visits Woodhenge
in addition to Stonehenge and also visits Neolithic burial mounds. |
