For an unforgettable family day out, visit the World Heritage Site of
Stonehenge. Located near Salisbury in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside,
it is a highlight of the South West.
The true meaning of this ancient, awe-inspiring creation has been lost in
the mists of time. Was it a temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a
burial site or perhaps a huge calendar? How did our ancestors manage to
carry the mighty stones from so far away and then, using only the most
primitive of tools, build this amazing structure? Surrounded by mystery,
Stonehenge never fails to impress.
Open daily all year round. Closed 24 - 26 Dec and 1 Jan. Last admission 30
mins prior to published closing time. To access the stones outside normal
hours please contact English Heritage on 01722 343834 during office hours.
