Stonehenge

Stonehenge, 10 miles north of Salisbury on the Salisbury Plain, is Europe’s best known prehistoric monument (the site is so popular that visitors must purchase a ticket in advance to secure entry). The exhibits in the excellent visitor center set the stage for a visit, explaining through audiovisual experiences and over 250 ancient objects how the megaliths were erected and telling the story of life when they were placed here, between 3000 and 1500 BC.

After walking around the huge stones, visit authentic replicas of Neolithic houses to see the tools and tools of Neolithic everyday life, as volunteers demonstrate the skills of 4,500 years ago. Although you cannot enter the circle to walk among the stones during normal opening hours, you can book special access early in the morning or late at night to the circle through English Heritage, which manages the site.
