About Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a brilliant family day out for curious kids and adults alike. Walk around one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments, explore the exhibition and reconstructed Neolithic houses, and discover the mysteries of the wider UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pre-booking is recommended, especially during school holidays, to secure your preferred entry time.

Stonehenge History

The huge stone lintels are mortice-and-tenoned to the upright stones and are curved to follow a circle. Some stones weigh over 50 tons each, with some brought from the Preseli Mountains in Wales! When you're here, you can walk through the historic Neolithic houses of the Neolithic people who lived there 4,000 years ago.

  • Stonehenge Visitor Centre and Exhibits

    The Stonehenge Visitor Centre features a 360-degree virtual experience, over 250 objects of international importance, and the reconstructed face of an Early Neolithic man.

  • Explore The Ancient Engineering Marvel

    Stonehenge is renowned for its incredible engineering feats, achieved over 4,000 years ago. The site is made up of 56 massive stones, some weighing up to 25 tons, carefully arranged in a circular formation. The stones were transported from great distances, including the smaller "bluestones" from Wales, over 150 miles away.

  • Enjoy An Interactive Visitor Experience

    Families can enjoy Playhenge and Kids' Dig, interactive activities designed to engage children with hands-on learning experiences, making the visit both educational and fun for young archaeologists.
