Stonehenge Tours from London Options
stonehenge tours from london either take in Stonehenge when traveling from one destination to the other, usually Salisbury and Bath, or include Stonehenge only. One favorite tour combines three of the United Kingdom’s must-see places; Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford. Remember, tours may not include the Stonehenge entrance fees which are a reasonable £6.60 for adults and £3.30 for children.
Stonehenge tours from London are especially popular with London tourists as there is no public transportation directly to Stonehenge. Stonehenge is 137 kilometers outside of London,and few London tourists hire a car as parking and traffic are notorious. There is hardly any reason to rent a car either as so many of the things to do in London are readily accessible from a London hop on, hop off tour.
It is not usually possible to walk amongst the stones themselves anymore. At one time visitors could do so but vandalism from a few ruined this chance for the public. A new visitors center is being planned, hopefully to open before London hosts the 2012 Olympic Games. Many tourists to Stonehenge don’t realize that besides the massive stones being one of the impressive archaeological sites in Britain, there are also several other Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments that can be reached on foot a short distance from Stonehenge. When you’re looking for things to do in London on your next holiday, don’t neglect Stonehenge.
