The visitor center features fascinating exhibitions, a café, and a gift shop, adding to the overall experience.

Generally, no, you cannot touch the stones at Stonehenge. To protect this ancient monument, visitors are required to stay on the designated path that circles the stone arrangement.

Yes, there is a comprehensive Stonehenge Visitor Centre located about a mile and a half from the stone circle. It provides an excellent introduction to the monument's history and mysteries. Inside, you'll find interactive exhibitions, archaeological finds, a café for refreshments, and a well-stocked shop. A shuttle bus frequently runs between the visitor center and the stones.

Since Stonehenge is an open-air site, dressing for the unpredictable British weather is always a good idea. We recommend layered clothing, as conditions can change quickly. Comfortable, sturdy footwear is essential for walking around the monument and potentially across uneven ground. A waterproof jacket or umbrella is also advisable, regardless of the forecast.

The summer solstice is the most popular time for visitors: the sun rises behind the Heel Stone, its first rays illuminating the heart of Stonehenge. Archaeological excavations have revealed that a stone may once have accompanied the Heel Stone, allowing the two stones to frame the sunrise. The summer solstice is one of the rare occasions when the inner circle is open to the public.
