Visiting Stonehenge

There is a car park just across the road from the site, accessible by an underground passage beneath the road. Stonehenge can be visited by road thus:

From Amesbury 2 miles west on the junction of A303 and A344/360

From London Gatwick Airport take the M23 motorway and join the M25 motorway, following the signs for Heathrow Airport. From the M25, exit at junction 12 for the M3 motorway towards Basingstoke. Once on the M3 follow it to junction 8 signed A303 Andover. Continue on the A303 ALL the way until you reach a roundabout. Go straight over this and 2 miles on bear right onto the A344 and the car park is on the right hand side about 500 meters on.

From London Heathrow Airport follow signs to the M4 West. Continue for about 2 miles and come off at junction 4b onto the M25 South bound. Follow the signs for Gatwick Airport. From the M25, exit at junction 12 for the M3 motorway towards Basingstoke. Then follow the directions as above.

The nearest rail station is in the town of Salisbury, about nine and a half miles away.

There are buses that go to Amesbury, which is about two miles away.

Due to the wear and tear on the site, there is no access within the circle. However, private access can be arranged after regular visiting hours.
