Stonehenge is one of Britain's great solo travel experiences ÔÇö a chance to stand among the stones and think your own thoughts without a tour group commentary. Here's how to make the most of it as a solo visitor from Salisbury.
Getting There
The Salisbury to Stonehenge Shuttle is ideal for solo travellers. At ┬ú20 return per person you get the same all-inclusive deal as everyone else ÔÇö guaranteed seat, luggage storage at Caboose, and a return pick-up from Stonehenge at your chosen time. No need to find someone to split a taxi with.
The Best Departure for Solo Visitors
The 10:05 departure is the earliest and tends to have the thinnest crowds at Stonehenge on arrival. If you prefer a quieter experience at the monument, go early. The 10:40 arrival at Stonehenge (before the main tour bus rush) is the quietest window of the day.
Luggage
If you're travelling with a bag, the free luggage storage at Caboose is genuinely useful as a solo traveller ÔÇö carrying a rucksack around Stonehenge in the wind is not much fun. Leave your bag, collect it on your return.
At Stonehenge
Stonehenge is an English Heritage site ÔÇö pre-book your entrance ticket at english-heritage.org.uk. Solo visitors are welcome on all standard timed entry tickets. The site includes the Stonehenge Visitor Centre with exhibitions, a caf├®, and the shuttle to the stone circle itself. Allow 2ÔÇô3 hours minimum to enjoy the full experience.
When you're done, the Salisbury to Stonehenge Shuttle will pick you up from the car park at your pre-booked return time.
