We went here a couple years back.

Drove to Woodhenge (a lot less impressive, but cool and you actually get to walk around the henge itself) then took a 40 minute stroll through some fields to get to a public footpath that was about a metre away from the paid stonehenge footpath.

Was really nice, we sat down, had some snacks and admired the henge.

Then later on our trip we passed through Avebury which is essentially a village surrounded by a henge. Massive rocks that you can touch, sit on, whatever.

Few tips for any stonehenge tourists! There's a lot of history in that area.

Ps hadn’t heard of woodhenge before and also didn’t know of the public foot path. So cool!

Woodhenge is a bit underwhelming (a few wood stumps in a pattern) but as it's a good starting point to the free path, it's a nice landmark to check off!

Yes! I have been to Avebury as well and I loved it. Way less touristy, and the walk along the stones that remain is magical. I talked to someone who lived in the village and he said that a lot of stones were removed (Middle Ages I think?) to build the village, ie it used to be a full circle. Still beautiful

My husband gave me a trip to Stonehenge (and Bath) for my birthday 10 years ago and it was awesome!!! It was a trip where we could walk up to the stones and the touch them (watched by security guards 😁)
