“Points of Interest in WIL”
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles (3 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. Stonehenge's ring of standing stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Recommend getting there as early as possible to beat the crowds. There are roads that get you close and you can walk up to the site or you can go through the website for tickets which give you access to the museum and a shuttle bus to the site. We did the latter and thought it was worth it, plus we liked the idea of supporting the site's preservation.
I had wanted to visit Stonehedge at sunrise, unfortunately, government regulations do not allow for this. I had also arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon the day before my planned sunrise visit to see it in daylight and was told the attraction was closed for the day if I did not have an advance ticket. Upon going online, the last ticket time was 3PM!! Make sure you buy tickets online in advance. Really did not anticipate the government restrictions considering this is rocks in a field! My bad.
Stonehenge is right next to a busy highway so visible to driving past; however, no where to pull off to view from a distance. The the assigned parking lot is a few miles away and you are bussed to the site.
One of the biggest mysteries, can get quite busy, but worth a visit! I do feel however that this is not something you need to come to more than once.
A very unique site and it was something that was high up on my bucket list. The time it took to get there was well worth it. Had a cute little gift shop and they were working on a new guest center when I was there.
