Stonehenge
Visit England’s most mysterious ancient ruins
See Stonehenge Up Close at Sunrise, Daytime, or Sunset
Stonehenge has long been a mystery whose origins, creation, and purpose have eluded scientists, historians, and citizens for decades. Who built them? Why were they built? And how were they built? Many of these stones weigh an average of 20 tons! When we consider what we’re told about ancient history, it’s difficult to imagine that men could move stones into specific shapes like this but somehow they did.
This Stonehenge guide is meant to help you understand that visiting Stonehenge is worth the day trip from London. There are also other interesting ruins you can see along the way in Bath, Avebury, or West Kennet Long Barrow. Or if you fancy another royal experience, book a tour that also stops at Windsor Castle!
So be sure to plan an extra day to your London vacation to see Stonehenge up close. You can visit early in the morning, during the day, or at sunset. All of which will make for a memorable visit to this incredible site.
