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:
- Early morning or evening special access to Stonehenge, beyond the ropes into the circle of stones
- Guided private viewing of stones
- Entrance to World Heritage Site, the Roman Baths and the Pump Rooms at Bath
- Walking tour of Bath
- Walk around medieval National Trust village of Lacock, with option to purchase supper or breakfast at 14th century inn, The George
- Luxury air conditioned motor coach with free Wi-Fi 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 available 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.

Your Stonehenge Transport |
Premium Tours Tour Itinerary:
The morning tour goes direct to Stonehenge, just under 2 hours from London. After Special Access it is about 45 minutes to medieval Lacock for a breakfast stop. Then it's onto Bath for a full visit before returning to London.
The evening session starts with a journey to Bath arriving mid-afternoon, before going onto Lacock late afternoon and then finally onto Stonehenge for an evening Special Access session.
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 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 around Lacock, before we head off to the The George Inn, a vintage English pub built in 1361. Here you can purchase a traditional home cooked English breakfast or supper, viewing the pictures of well known actors in the walls, where they have been filiming in the village.
Bath
Bath, a World Heritage Site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. You'll see Bath Abbey and the much-photographed Pulteney Bridge, modelled on the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence.
Your guide will also conduct an optional walking tour to show you a charming 17th-century Sally Lunn tea room and the Jane Austin Museum among many other hidden treasures.
Lastly, you will visit the key attraction for visitors, the Roman Baths; a magnificent temple bathing complex built using the natural resource of the only hot spring in Britain, and named the Sacred Spring. You will see the water's source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements and of course see the baths themselves. You are provided with an audio tour device (in eight languages) so you can visit at your own pace. The Roman Baths is the best preserved Roman spa from the ancient world.
