Stonehenge

Stonehenge.

Stonehenge in Wiltshire is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain.

This is a major tourist attraction for all of North West Europe, in fact. Nobody wants to miss it, whether on holiday locally, visiting England for the first time, or on an educational school trip. It stands as a timeless monument to the people who built it 3,500 years and more ago.

Stonehenge is situated in Wiltshire and easily accessed from all parts of Wessex by car, bus or coach. No need to book, but the gates close at teatime, so don't go too late in the day unless you are content with viewing from a distance.
