Stonehenge Special Access Inner Circle Tour from London

Overview

On a normal visit to Stonehenge you follow a path around the stones. This special access tour takes place outside public opening hours, early in the morning or in the evening, and lets a small group walk inside the circle among the stones.

English Heritage limits how many people can enter the circle at each session, so spaces are few and book up early, particularly in summer.

Highlights

• Walk inside the stone circle
• Visit outside normal opening hours, with far fewer people
• Early morning or evening light, ideal for photos
• Time at the visitor centre and Neolithic houses (when open)
• Return transport from London
