About Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, about 3 km west of Amesbury. An outer ring of large sarsen stones, joined by horizontal lintels, surrounds a ring of smaller bluestones and, inside that, free-standing trilithons.

It was built in phases from about 3100 BC to about 1600 BC; the big sarsen circle was put up between about 2600 and 2400 BC. The monument is aligned on sunrise at the summer solstice and sunset at the winter solstice, and it stands among several hundred Neolithic and Bronze Age burial mounds. It has been legally protected since the Ancient Monuments Protection Act 1882.

Antes de viajar

Stonehenge is about 124 km (77 miles) from central London in a straight line, measured from Charing Cross; the rail route is longer. Trains leave from London Waterloo. Our rail tickets guide explains Advance, Off-Peak and Anytime tickets, railcards and split tickets, so you can work out which fare suits a day out. On the day, check National Rail for delays and engineering works before you set off.

Opening times, tickets and closures for English Heritage: Stonehenge are on its official website. For sights that can need a timed ticket, see what to book ahead.
