James BrothersSeptember 16, 2016You don't HAVE to pay. There is a footpath that takes you along the side of the fenced area. Not quite as close as the ticketed walk & doesn't include the audio guide but still...
Helen WhittenOctober 11, 2014You can walk to the henge for free. If the entrance fee prevents you from visiting, the henge is 1.4 miles from the visitor centre. The view is more restricted then paying visitors but still worth it.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Vivian LiOctober 11, 2012Don't bottleneck at the beginning. Once you move in a little people disperse so you won't have to wait forever to take a picture. However the best (or closest) views are in the first 1/4 or 1/3Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Andrew CSeptember 4, 2018Really amazing site... incredible sight to see and hear theories about all aspects of it, as you walk around it on guided path + come early or late for less crowds!!!
Mark GouldsmithNovember 11, 2016To get the most of it, go into the museum and also listen to the audio tour. The official app includes it. Don't try to sneak in or you will kindly get escorted out, saw it happen!
Either (A) Don't pay & walk from visitor's centre to view it from behind the fence, or (B) Pay 4 full tour that gets you inside circle & tells you the full history. Waste of money to pay & skip tour.
Juul SpeeOctober 1, 2017The free audio guide app is not the one linked to from the WiFi landing page (the generic English Heritage one), but a dedicated app for Stonehenge. Get that one and bring your headphones.- Joanne YeoMay 6, 2018Visit as part of a tour with English Heritage and got to ride on the shuttle bus to Stonehenge. Very interesting history and mysteries around it. Good for a short 1 hour visit.
Susana NobreMay 4, 2016That place is just amazing! Breads story, humanity challenge, emotions... Can't wait to come back! I wish I can do camping in here over night!!! As a English Heritage member... I strongly recommend ❤️
- Tariq HossenbuxMay 21, 2014Listen carefully to the audio tour and try to take in the magnitude of what these ancient people did. It's truly amazing!
Yarn LamApril 5, 2015Plug in your headphones into the audio guide and you'll be hands free to listen and take pictures at the same time.
Mag TYDecember 6, 2016Lovely revisit after some 20 years. New Visitors centre and bus area require shuttle service to the stones
RachelApril 14, 2013We arrived at 6pm couldnt enter the car park so we Just parked the car at the road side and walk across the road towards the fence. Remember to bring a portable chair or ladder to take pic. :p
Michael WAugust 27, 2013Audio tip useful. You are closest to the stones at the beginning of your tour- probably the best time for photos (depending on the sunlight of course!)
James UnderwoodNovember 5, 2018It's simply one of those trips that you need do. It's amazing to actually see and surprisling so close to London.
GowithOhMay 8, 2013A great idea for a day trip from London - Stonehenge! Just 90 minutes from the capital!
Cams EscallonJune 26, 2013It's an amazing and magical place. You have to pay for the entrance but you get a free audioguide with your tickets.
Eugene AuJune 2, 2017Learn briefly the history at the visitor centre first and follow the audio guide. Join the Stonehenge Tour buses from Salisbury if you don't have a car.
Steven AskwithAugust 10, 2014If you are willing to walk to the site and don't want an audio guide or see the exhibition, you save the entry price: just walk past the ticket office and not pay, no appears to check on busy days.
Paul HolbaApril 19, 2017Get there early and use the "side road" behind the structure. The head up the road to the larger and more interactive area.
KarenDecember 24, 2018Absolutely stunning. Take your time and do the full tour. Who knows when you'll ever return?
Marianne SenatoreOctober 4, 2015Nice, but too expensive (around £15)! Go by your own car in the morning, when its not too crowded, and see it for free beyond the fence.
Mark TimmsMay 30, 2010Best approach is from the small village, Lake. Its a 30minute walk across the fields but far more peaceful and better than the traffic island that is the approach from the A303
Ben EngenAugust 18, 2016The site itself is pretty but the perspective of the time that has elapsed since the place was built is what makes it amazing.
Kasia BorzymowskaSeptember 6, 2012Nice place! Really would like to touch it but seeing it is great experience as well. Can't understand greedy ppl which travel there only to take a pic standing next to the fence lol must go in!
ℋumorousJune 14, 2012It is best to first view the Stonehenge in silence from all angles then if you wish to use the audio tour, your own headphones will fit the jack. ☺
T WSeptember 7, 2013Before you go, apply for after hours access INTO Stonehenge at http://www.english-heritage.org.uk. Otherwise you have to view from several 100 feet away during normal hours with the tour buses.
Brandon CainJune 9, 2018Take a bus (10 min drive) or walk (45 mins) to get the the stones. Great audio tour
Tatyana ZailerAugust 29, 2015Stonehenge is not the only monument at this place. There are at least 5 more monuments a mile from the main attraction. You can find a path to them on the photographs near Stonehenge main stones.
Patrick Van de VoortAugust 19, 2014Bit pricy, but worth a visit! Take the bus next to the visitors center. Much quicker!
Brad TApril 7, 2015More interested in how they got there and they built them rather than the actual structure itself, which is frankly a little underwhelming.
Marie-Anne RamondAugust 23, 2013The nearest train station to get there is Salisbury (only 90 minutes from London Waterloo). Then you can take a "Stonehenge tour bus" at the Salisbury station to get on the site. It's magic.
HaeAn SungMarch 23, 2015Visit exhibition first and take shuttle bus to go to see the stones. Then you will more enjoy the site. Very interesting.
Claudio ValerioOctober 1, 2011Go there very early, when it has just opened, you'll be able to take great pictures without the lot of people that are usually in.
Maria KöhlerApril 18, 2015It's just a bunch of rocks but I'd still recommend everyone to go there at least once. I was really impressed.
Hector BarocioMarch 19, 2015Great place, the exhibition is great. Be mindful about weather is usually very windy at the stones..
Hams SoloSeptember 8, 2015Spectacular. Ten thousand years old and can still accurately calculate the calendar year.
Viator.comJanuary 27, 2012The town of Salisbury is 8 miles south and the beautiful medieval Salisbury Cathedral is a must. The famous Magna Carta is also housed there. Read more
Josh TaroliSeptember 2, 2016The stone circle itself is a bit disappointing, but it's definitely worth a visit!
Endre FejesOctober 5, 2014Look for special occasions when you can walk amongst the stones! The place is spectacular anyway though.- Smaller than most expect. Why not go for a walk in the surrounding Stonehenge landscape. Check out The Cursus, Woodhenge and Durrington Walls - the largest henge in Britain. Read more
EmyleeSeptember 12, 2014Love the new layout. You get to see the stones so much closer now. Well worth seeing it for the fourth time:)
Cristal RibeiroSeptember 3, 2016Rocks in the middle of nowhere, but still AMAZING! The landscape is gorgeous too.
Sarah NaylorSeptember 1, 2013Really good if you are an English Heritage member as you go straight through. Think it will be enhanced once the visitors center is built
SimoneJune 16, 2014Disappointing... Or how you can turn a sacred place dedicated to nature cycles into a cash-machine. Behind the "official" path is free path that can get you closer but not that close - ask locals.
Katie AndradeJune 10, 2017I would not recommend paying the money to go see. It's way to touristy and you can drive past it on the highway and see it perfectly. Just not worth it unless you're really keen on seeing it closer.

The true meaning of this ancient creation has been lost in time. Was it a temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a burial site or perhaps a huge calendar? How did our ancestors carry the mighty stones from so far away and then build this amazing structure? It never fails to impress.
