If it wasn't removed and reconstructed in 1958, I would go. I'm surprised no one mentions that fact when talking about the so called "ancient landmark". Don't believe me? Look it up!
Less likely for me unless the tour includes Salisbury and other sites making Stonehenge the dessert rather than the main course. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and insights to help me make up my mind. Awesome video by the way. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Enjoyed the video, I live between Salisbury and Stonehenge. Bath is a lot closer than Winsor 🥰 I once walked from Stonehenge to Avebury 28 miles for charity. Avebury stones are free to look round.
OH MY GOD! I'm Brazilian living in Portugal and soon I'll be taking my first trip to England, and visiting Stonehenge is a dream for me, in a short video you answered all my questions, and helped me a lot, thank you very much: )
Visited Stonehenge when stationed in the forces near Salisbury during the 1960s. I was able to walk amongst the stones as in the early photos on the video. Old Sarum is fascinating too. Salisbury city is certainly worth a visit as it has the wonderful cathedral and many preserved buildings. Lovely area overall. Thanks Suitcase Monkey for bringing back such great memories!
A great video! 😊 I agree, Stonehenge is worth visiting… once, will be more than enough though, and maybe have something else planned for the day so you don’t feel too ‘short-changed’ IMHO 👍🏼
Definitely want to visit Stonehenge, and would take in Salisbury and Bath over several days. We don't travel fast. Very good information in your video. Thx!
I've done the out of hours tours to get into the stones at Stonehenge twice now. I thought it was magical both times. Booking was straightforward. I did the early morning one. I stayed in Amesbury (the nearest town), drove up to the visitor centre (which was shut), got on the shuttle bus and got driven up to the stones. There you're warned not to touch the stones and you're allowed in while being supervised by a couple of friendly security guards. (I mean the friendly bit - they were great!) Then you have a whole hour to wander around the stones. Once your visit is finished, you can use your ticket to come back and get into the visitor centre later on in the day when it's opened.
I will be travelling from Istanbul, Turkey to London next week and I have 1 day that is totally empty. watching this video completely, you made me become sure that day will be dedicated to this trip. Yes, 100 pounds is somewhat costly but then again, as you said, "there is only one Stonehenge" and seems like it would be nice to have this experience while I can
Lovely video featuring this rather awe inspiring place! I personally live very close to the Stonehenge site and I had the amazing opportunity to actually work there throughout the summer of 2022. It's a lovely place to work, the surrounding scenery treats you to some amazing views (one time we had a lovely double rainbow over the hill that the buses take and during the heatwave we saw three hares fighting in a nearby field close to where the buses leave the centre) and just the general atmosphere is so calming. The team there are brilliant too - some of them are honestly really knowledgable about the site and hearing talks from some of them is a real treat. You could very easily spend an entire day exploring the area around Stonehenge too - there's lots of different public pathways that you can take with some following the River Avon and into nearby villages. If you're walking around the area, look out for little white stickers with a green arrow that have the Wiltshire Council logo - these tend to be the public pathways.
Coming to England from across the pond, and Stonehenge and Avebury Circle is at the top of our list. Your videos are very informative and entertaining! Love the personality you put into it!
Avebury is rather different but worth it. I was there many years ago fairly early on a very misty morning, when almost nobody was around, and to walk around with these stones looming out of the thick mist was truly awesome. If you are particularly interested in prehistoric sites, the Avebury area is most interesting. I was cycling and got well up on the Ridgeway and to Kennington Long Barrow, which you could actually enter (I think it's owned by a historic preservation agency). Also, farther east on the Ridgeway (one of the oldest tracks in the U..K., if not Europe), there are the prehistoric (Celtic?) White Horse and Wayland Smith's "cave." Do enjoy your trip! P.S. Salisbury is wonderful too, especially the cathedral with its spacious close.
This is the best vlog I have seen about Stonehenge, very informative. Thank you for sharing this. I have never been interested in visiting Stonehenge but if I was, this vlog would entice me to go.
This video makes me want to take the time to go. Knowing about your route and especially the cathedral being on the route, because I already wanted to see that, is quite helpful!
I visited Stonehenge with my parents in the late 1970s - a time when there was no entry charged and when we could walk through and (lightly) touch the stones. It was also well before the “selfie” was official, but looking back through photos I see that we managed a few quirky photos (but definitely did not sit on the rocks). We also found Old Sarum by chance and what a find it was! Your video makes me want to revisit Salisbury and the detailed info you provided is excellent. But having already had so much freedom to explore Stonehenge and Old Sarum close-up, I don’t think I’d be revisiting those ancient landmarks.
I went back in the late 1950s, on a one-day drive to SW Cornwall from London (in an old model A two-door Ford with my parents). It was not crowded, even in August, and yes, walking around the stones and being able to feel their texture was special. If you ever get to visit Wiltshire again, I'd say spend time in Salisbury, and try to reach (drive and walk) the place with the beautiful view across the water meadows made famous by English artists. If you are in the general area, try Bath, Wells, Glastonbury (abbey ruins and Tor), and the older, rougher prehistoric stone circle at Avebury. Also, at the extreme northwestern corner of Wiltshire you reach the Cotswolds.
Stonehenge has been on my lifetime bucket list and I’ll get to see it in December. I love the idea of spending the day in Salisbury and ending it with Stonehenge! Thank you for all the information!
Try and go at sunset. It's magical. If you have a car you can do a drive by, (see map for side road) and quite honestly it is just as good since you can't get close to the stones anymore. I grew up in a village close by and have since visited from Australia, with kids. It is a complete rip off!! If you've got a decent zoom you can photograph and see just as much. That is unless you are a budding archeologist.
I live in Los Angeles, and have visited Stonehenge three times. The first was in the early seventies, when you could walk among the stones with hundreds of other people. Rhe second was in the eighties with my kids, when we viewed the stones from afar and heard the noise fro the nearby highway. For my most recent visit, my daughter, teenage grandson and I booked the after hours option through English Heritage. That was far and away the best visit. The road had been re-routed so it was quiet. As it got darker, the stones became much more atmospheric. A flock of ravens dining on flying insects made it even more so. We booked months in advance via a seies of emails that was awkward because of the time difference.
Exactly, it completely depends on how much imagination that you can add to those rocks. I spent couple of hours walk to Stonehenge from Salisbury via Old Sarum. It is was super exciting, beautiful and definately worhy for hiking.
I was there yesterday and I can say that is worth a visit. I went for the free option (no entry fee), it is a bit of a hike (1h in total back and forth) so bring hiking or comfortable shoes, it was quite windy too. The bus from the railway station to the site was still £18, which I found expensive for a ~20 minutes bus ride, but it includes an audioguide, and the entrance to the cathedral. Unfortunately I was late for the cathedral but it looks great from the photos. There might be cheaper buses but I did not had the time to properly research. Needless to say that you will enjoy your visits much more if you research about Stonehenge before hand so you know what you are looking at once you are there! The English town of Salisbury is beautiful and full of historical landmarks with Tudor/Victorian/Roman and even prehistoric architecture (in the ourskirts that is). If you are travelling with the eurorail pass like me there are trains from Salisbury to the cities of Bristol and Cardiff (~2.5 hs travel time).
Great video. I skipped Stonehenge on my first London visit since I was concerned that it would effectively burn a day and, since I only had a week in town, that would be a bad use of time. Your video confirmed this. If I lived in London, or had the means for a longer trip, it would absolutely be worth it. Another mitigating factor that most tourists don't seem to know is that the Stonehenge we see today is extensively restored. It's not exactly fake, but the Victorian Stonehenge looked much more like a pile of rocks.
This is true, but as ancient relics go this is a Hollywood A lister, and yes she's had a bit of work done. The stones that where re-erected in the 50's are in their original place and give a better idea of the original structure than a pile of rocks could. I'm lucky enough to of been in the center of the circle and touched the stones, and without wanting to sound like a trippy hippy, that place has a magical feel about it. A must see if you get the chance.
@@1969ginge I concur, but I think one should prioritize the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and, for all its ethical failings, the British Museum when visiting the general area. Stonehenge may be A-list, but there are levels even at that exalted station. JMHO - YMMV.
To me just the fact that these huge stones were brought there from Wales and then stacked on each other, all without cranes or any modern building tools is one of the most mindblowing things in human history.
@@muffinman5741 I concur, but they're not much to see compared to the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, British Museum, National Gallery, and so many other things.
The cathedral is absolutely magnificent! It’s so cinematic and feels like as if I were in an ancient age😆I’m from Japan 🇯🇵 and there are great historical buildings too but they are so different from the ones that you showed us..which makes me more interested in visiting England🏴 !😍
@@SuitcaseMonkey honesty is good, sir. Thank you. Westminster Abbey is an astounding place, but I guess it's not usually placed that highly as architecture. Looked great to me, though.
Salisbury Cathedral has a wonderful Tower Tour and was not mentioned (maybe it was not offered when this video was filmed). You need to book the tour in advance, and it is not offered every day. You get some fantastic views from high-up vantage points inside the cathedral and a view outside from the tower. You also get to see what it has taken to keep the tower from collapsing. The Salisbury Tower Tour, combined with the cathedral itself and the Magna Carta, makes it among the best cathedrals to visit in the UK.
Great video. I'm currently sitting in my hotel room in London, arguing with myself wether to visit stonehenge or not. You just convinced me, that I can have a good time there exploring Salisbury and going to stonehenge afterwards, since I'm a huge history fan. Cheers mate
Thanks for this video. I would love to visit Stonehedge and now I can add Salisury to my to do list. Thanks again for all the good information you supply. From the Maldives to Bath!!!
Yes, it is worth the visit. We hope to visit London next year in April. We plan to stay the entire month and your videos make it easy to decide what to visit
We stayed at Bath. We booked our Stonehenge trip with Scarper tours. We did the half day tour direct from Bath. Cost 50pds, including entrance fee and we got straight in. Worth the money and Sally our driver was lovely. Would recommend. We visited on 17 Oct 2023.
Darling ! I came all the way from Austin Texas during the coronation of King Charles and I visited Stonehenge and it was worth it ! I traveled 11k miles between Texas and the UK and every place I visited it was worth it . Be mindful about all the tourists : we matter to the economy. I’ll be back again to Liverpool and visit Manchester in 2024 . Greetings from Austin Texas ! Claudia
I feel about Stonehenge the way I feel about Loch Ness. I'd rather see a less popular version... I find the more popular a place, the less desire I have to see it. Beautiful video though, I feel like I've had the whole experience
I was at a tiny restaurant inLondon with a friend in the early seventies where you could hear everyone but politely ignored other conversations when an American college professor, rom Idaho I think, was asked about his visit to Stonehenge.. "I was a bit disappointed," he said, and the room fell silent."Lots of the stones had fallen and it was incomplete, while we have a model of the completed Stonehenge on the Columbia River back home." That was followed by elite but snarky comments from around the room to the pint that one would always rather see a perfect model that the original. As an American I stayed silent and would not see Stonehenge until the nineties, when I throughly enjoyed my visit to Stonehenge combined with Salisbury and Old Sarum. Tanks for the video and the great advice.
The model of Stonehenge at Maryhill in Washington State is made of concrete, and is rather the equivalent of the tourist attractions with plastic or concrete dinosaurs as opposed to seeing the actual fossilized bones!
Thank you for your informative video! We definitely will visit Salisbury, Stonehenge along with Bath for a day trip! Love your sense of humor at the end of video! Keep up your good work ;)
It was a great experience for us. Salisbury was beautiful! Now that I see this I wish I could have seen Bath. Cambridge was also a very beautiful place.
I visited Stonehenge about 2 weeks ago with a group of German tourists. We travelled through the beautiful south of England (Windsor, Cliffs of Dover, Canterbury, Winchester, Salisbury, Montacute House and gardens , Wells, Penshurst, Stourhead, Glastonbury, Bath, St. Ives, Plymouth and Bristol.). Wonderful! We also visited Stonehenge. My first thought was that it was far less big and impressive than in the films that I saw about it. I was a little bit disappointed, but nevertheless glad to have seen it at last. So all in all you should visit this historical site.
I am in the early stages of planning my trip to the UK. Before this video it was a must and now it has fallen on the list. :) Thank you for the video. :)
Just found your channel last night and I’m loving all this amazing info! 🙌🏽👏🏽 having watch this, I now plan on spend a couple hours at Stonehenge vs all day. It my first trip to London and I’m trying to plan my vacation in a smart and efficient way. Your channel is helping a ton! Thanks again! 😊
I think accompanied by someone with your sense of humor might make me want to see a pile of rocks. I almost fell off my chair when you said "Liam Neeson". Love your videos. If I ever make it to England, it will be to try out the cuisine.
My vote (as an American) is visit Bath and Salisbury thoroughly… and wave to Stonehenge from the motorway. I prefer visiting prehistoric stones in the Cotswolds, like the Rollrights.
Hello Dara When the tunnel is built, I think the monument will be very much worth the visit. It will be given back its sense of place. It is run by English Heritage but you can get in as a National Trust member, I went on a sunny day and walked from visitor centre and approached from the north along a line of tumuli, with skylarks singing. I must say it was wonderful.
I get it, I was disappointed to see it from the road when I was a kid. It was worse then, a road ran by it and there was a dreadful car-park. If and when the tunnel is built, give it another chance.
Excellent video! New subscriber! First like of many 👍 Enjoyed the detailed explanation, even all the food you ate there! We had a tour planned to Stonehenge this year, but mom got sick in London and had to postpone. She recovered soon after I canceled the tour 😂 . We're planning to go there again next year.
Welcome. I make around a video a month so hope you enjoy the back catalog until the next one. Just released a full length 2 weeks in Malaysia vlog. Hope you enjoy
I took a day trip with Golden Tours at Victoria station to Stonehenge in november 2019 (simply stonehenge tour £55). Tour started at 8am, took 2-3hrs to drive there and back, no extra stops, plus time at stonehenge. Really cold but sunny day, energy around the area mystical, stones rather small compared to expectation. Arrival time in London around 17.00. So I agree with your answer, worth it, yes and no.
Suitcase Monkey, You are too good. The way u present I bet no other TH-camr in the whole world does. After taking inspiration from you I started my own travel channel and learning things day by day from your vlogs but I m not even 1% of you. You should do more videos. That’s the only feedback I can give 😀
Thank you for your kind words. I have TH-camrs I admire in a similar way too so nice to hear. To be honest if I did more, I’d probably have gotten bored or burnt out and have given up by now. 😅
I made a visit to Stonehenge from Salisbury yesterday and i think it is very much worth it and glad i got to tick it off. Great modern visitor centre too. Go visit!
Hello Suit Case Monkey Loved the video, I do want to go back and see Stonehenge again we where shock by the aurora of it. Plus we did not have time to go in to the Cathedral so that is high on my list to fix. Plus I have read the book Sarum which I highly recommend. So I would say yes to visiting Stonehenge. Thanks again. Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada.
I got to visit during a “special access” event by complete accident, years ago. The sweet lady I lived with was apparently an English heritage member and bought us tickets for one of those days. I didn’t realize how big of a deal that was until now that we’re looking at returning to the UK and my husband (who has never been) is a bit mixed on whether to even pay the admission since it’s so pricey for such a distance of travel. I think we’ll likely do Avebury and the Kennet Barrow instead, and just see Stone Henge from afar.
Thank you for your honest opinion. I’m now cooling off on the idea of visiting Stonehenge very expensive and time consuming, definitely having second thoughts.
I came back from a 12-day organized coach tour from England, Scotland and Wales, and I'm sorry but this was one of the 2 places I didn't like at all. The second was Eden Project in Wales. But 99% of the other places in the UK were amazing. I fell in love with the little towns and villages architecture and vibes. People, pubs, flowers everywhere, food and even the weather you the Brits complain about all the time (same thing we do here in Poland:). It was my first visit and I hope not the last. There are still villages and cliffs around your country waiting for me.
Close by are The West Kennet Long Barrow and Avebury wonderful adjuncts to Stonehenge you will also be alongside the man made Silbury Hill which is still a mystery. Getting some insight to these structures and the Neolithic time period before your visit will certainly enable you to appreciate these monoliths as more than a pile of old stones! Paul, Johannesburg
I first visited Stonehenge in 1973 and walked around touching and sitting on the stones, when I returned to the UK in 1978 I revisited with my wife, the stones were roped off. However, we had taken a train to Salisbury, visited the cathedral, was asked to leave as a service was about to start, we ended up staying and sat in the choir. It was a great and unexpected experience. The second trip for me to Stonehenge was a bit disappointing compared to the first time.
@@SuitcaseMonkey no it was different. I had just got married and travelled across the world from New Zealand to live in London and work for a few years. While Stonehenge was becoming commercial by 1978, they also realised, correctly, that the stones were getting damaged and people had to be kept away. However, attending a service and sitting in the choir was a wonderful experience. I am not religious but very much appreciated it. Salisbury Cathedral helps create quite an atmosphere when it is used for the purpose for which it was built. Thank you for the video. Have a good day from Sydney Australia.
American here, lived in Bemerton Heath/Salisbury for about year and half and love Salisbury! Stonehenge may be underwhelming to some, but it's worth seeing
Thank you for this video!!!!! It was actually a topic of discussion at dinner the other night with my in-laws. My MIL wanted to know if we planned to go when visiting London and I just hadn't really thought about it. Then your video popped up and now . . . Well, we're thinking about it! 😆 Honestly, Salisbury sounds more interesting to me, but my husband and son want to see the henge, so doing both in a day sounds like a good possibility. Again, thank you!
There's another stone circle that is not cordoned off. It's also much bigger (larger circle) with a surrounding ditch and takes quite a few minutes to walk around. The Avebury stone circle just off the A4 between Marlborough and Devises, or off the M4 at Swindon. Google it.
I did purchase the "Inner Circle Sunset Experiance" which was a pricy,, I however caught COVID in London and was unable to go so my best friend went without me, it was a combo with bath and the cotswalds included,, she said it was fantastic,,, Im hoping to see this time in September I will be using information in this video to get there from Southampton and taking the bus from the station in Salisbury ,, very informative thank you very much this is very useful !!! I also downloaded the Train App that you mentioned,, very helpful
If anyone has a car, there is a free way that allows you to see the stones without a ticket. It puts you 5 metres further away than paying customers, but it's free. There's lots of info about it on Google, park on the other side near the army accommodation and walk until you reach the public right of way. You'll get stopped by the worker, but if you say you're going down the free way they'll let you through.
To go to Stonehenge in and of itself is not worth it. I agree, that you should combine it with other points of interest nearby. The region around Bath was more interesting. Thanks for taking us along in your vlog. All the best. Be Well,. Stay Healthy 👍👍👍 Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.
When i was a young man in the 60's I remember calling at Stonehenge on the way to the IOW, In those days you could for right up to the stones and touching them sent shivers up my spine. There was power in those stones, there although others just claimed I was mad, Well I might be, but I know what i felt, In those days, The visitor centre was a shed and cars parked very near to the stones. Visiting now means there is not too much to see and the history is the draw a=though you can catch up with them in the internet,,
ThankU for the fabulous video! It makes me want to visit Stonehenge less now!!! It’s no longer on my bucket list of places to see in person!!! It was enough just viewing your information!!! Your Much Appreciate it! You cheeky monkey you‼️
Been living in London for 3 years and was unsure of doing this one... and also pandemic, bla bla. Your video made me decide to go and use my imagination for a 1 day trip 😀 love your vids
Any recommendations on where to visit in Dec? I typically dislike traveling when it is cold but considering the winter break, looking for a good spot. Thanks for sharing ur travels
Love your channel & look forward to getting back across the pond one day, when Covid allowed. Question for you: Would Avebury provide a similar experience to Stonehenge but with less crowds during peak season and I think Avebury allows you to walk right up to the stones?
Hey there thanks. I haven’t had any experience of it to be honest but others have commented on this video saying this so it’s definitely an option it seems!
Whenever people visit, we point out Stonehenge from the road going by and then take them to Avebury. It is free and you can walk up and touch the stones as you thread your way through the sheep. However, Avebury is so large that it's hard to visualize from the ground but there are lots of leaflets that better display it.
I went to Avebury back about 1960, on a cheap youth-hosteling trip because I'd only just graduated college and had very little money! The circle is huge and consists of separate standing stones, not linked by horizontal ones. The circle is in fact so big that about half of the village is actually inside of the circle, and partly built of pieces of stone from the (now incomplete) circle! In medieval times they found a technique of breaking up the stones by, I think, heating them and then pouring vinegar on them. I saw the circle fairly early on a very foggy morning, so only a couple of other people were around and to walk around with the huge, strangely shaped stones looking out of the mist was quite an experience.The walk around was on rough grass, and sheep were roaming around, grazing. If you go, try to read up about it online. Also, from Avebury you can fairly easily reach other prehistoric monuments, such as the famous White Horse and Wayland Smith's cave (which I believe has been restored, alas, since I saw it) and the West Kennet long barrow. Now, that was fascinating--to be able to walk through the old tomb! They had let small skylights into the roof and had gravel on the floor so you didn't have to wade through mud. And you can reach the end of the Ridgeway, a prehistoric track thousands of years old, supposedly the oldest still-used "road" in England, and walk it all along the crest of the White Horse Hills ...
Most Over-Hyped Uk tourist destination. Many of my visitor friends have it on their bucket list but tbh only few say it was worth visiting. I get the view of Stonehenge every time I drive to Bath. Don’t really understand the point of paying to queue up when you could just see it from the outside. I would rather go Bath or Cotswold or Bournemouth or see any other historic cathedrals / towns if I were a tourist heading westwards from London … just my opinion though. Great video!
❗Thank You very much i really appreciate this video, Me and my Wife going in afew days for a vist and you have helped how to and what else to do there❗ hopefully shall share my experience here 👍
My wife and I were planning to go see it, pile of rocks or not. What this video provided was exactly what I was looking for...what to do in the area with the rest of the day (knowing it couldn't take all that long at the actual site. Question from me, which may or may not have been asked...are there other sites of a similar nature in the area?
Curious that two completely different people: 1. the farmers from Anatolia (Turkey) who arrived around 4000 BC did the initial work on Stonehenge, working with the smaller blue stones from Wales, about 110 miles away, from about 3000 BC to 2600 BC. They look like the people of the Mediterranean, particularly Sardinia. 2. the Pastorial Steppe people (from Ukraine) who arrived around 2600 BC, replacing almost completely the original farmers (probably due to the plague, not warfare) who built Stonehenge 3, with the larger Sandstone boulders, from just 16 miles away. They look like the people we associate with the 'Nordic' look, the first people who looked 'Nordic' to appear in Europe. Two totally different people, who decided to work on the same project, putting their own stamp on it. Interesting.
Nice video! I would like to go to Stonehenge and Bath with family. I prefer to go to Stonehenge from London Waterloo and stay 1 night at Salisbury because of two oldies. Then we go to Bath next day. May I ask about the public transport from Salisbury to Bath? Thx.
Hi there. I’ve already covered both places on Patreon. I’m possibly not going to be doing a TH-cam version so check them out there if you’re interested.
So has this video made you more or less likely to visit Stonehenge? Let me know as I'm curious to hear!
Surkshark :-) in the banner
If it wasn't removed and reconstructed in 1958, I would go. I'm surprised no one mentions that fact when talking about the so called "ancient landmark". Don't believe me? Look it up!
Less likely for me unless the tour includes Salisbury and other sites making Stonehenge the dessert rather than the main course. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and insights to help me make up my mind. Awesome video by the way. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Of the many great videos about a visit to Stonehenge this is probably the hands down best. Wonderful combination of history and wit.
Welcome to the channel this is what we do!

I am in awe on how you narrate your views about the video. Indeed we are going there! Thanks to you. God bless you more blessings. 🙏
I visited Stonehenge about the same time. I am from the US. I was so glad I went. I felt very honored to see it.
A great video! 😊 I agree, Stonehenge is worth visiting… once, will be more than enough though, and maybe have something else planned for the day so you don’t feel too ‘short-changed’ IMHO 👍🏼

Good tips thanks!

I will be travelling from Istanbul, Turkey to London next week and I have 1 day that is totally empty. watching this video completely, you made me become sure that day will be dedicated to this trip. Yes, 100 pounds is somewhat costly but then again, as you said, "there is only one Stonehenge" and seems like it would be nice to have this experience while I can
Hope you enjoy. Feel free to update your thoughts after visiting!
Great video Paul! Always a pleasure to watch! You have a fantastic sense of humour !

Coming to England from across the pond, and Stonehenge and Avebury Circle is at the top of our list. Your videos are very informative and entertaining! Love the personality you put into it!
Avebury is rather different but worth it. I was there many years ago fairly early on a very misty morning, when almost nobody was around, and to walk around with these stones looming out of the thick mist was truly awesome. If you are particularly interested in prehistoric sites, the Avebury area is most interesting. I was cycling and got well up on the Ridgeway and to Kennington Long Barrow, which you could actually enter (I think it's owned by a historic preservation agency). Also, farther east on the Ridgeway (one of the oldest tracks in the U..K., if not Europe), there are the prehistoric (Celtic?) White Horse and Wayland Smith's "cave." Do enjoy your trip! P.S. Salisbury is wonderful too, especially the cathedral with its spacious close.
Thank you for this video! The cathedral was beautiful, I think I enjoyed it more than the Stonehenge itself~
This is the best vlog I have seen about Stonehenge, very informative.
Thank you for sharing this.
I have never been interested in visiting Stonehenge but if I was, this vlog would entice me to go.
Thank you. This is what we do 😀
This video makes me want to take the time to go. Knowing about your route and especially the cathedral being on the route, because I already wanted to see that, is quite helpful!
I love your style of travel vlogging. Very informative videos with funny quips scattered throughout 🤣
I visited Stonehenge with my parents in the late 1970s - a time when there was no entry charged and when we could walk through and (lightly) touch the stones. It was also well before the “selfie” was official, but looking back through photos I see that we managed a few quirky photos (but definitely did not sit on the rocks). We also found Old Sarum by chance and what a find it was! Your video makes me want to revisit Salisbury and the detailed info you provided is excellent. But having already had so much freedom to explore Stonehenge and Old Sarum close-up, I don’t think I’d be revisiting those ancient landmarks.
I went back in the late 1950s, on a one-day drive to SW Cornwall from London (in an old model A two-door Ford with my parents). It was not crowded, even in August, and yes, walking around the stones and being able to feel their texture was special. If you ever get to visit Wiltshire again, I'd say spend time in Salisbury, and try to reach (drive and walk) the place with the beautiful view across the water meadows made famous by English artists. If you are in the general area, try Bath, Wells, Glastonbury (abbey ruins and Tor), and the older, rougher prehistoric stone circle at Avebury. Also, at the extreme northwestern corner of Wiltshire you reach the Cotswolds.
Stonehenge has been on my lifetime bucket list and I’ll get to see it in December. I love the idea of spending the day in Salisbury and ending it with Stonehenge! Thank you for all the information!
Try and go at sunset. It's magical. If you have a car you can do a drive by, (see map for side road) and quite honestly it is just as good since you can't get close to the stones anymore. I grew up in a village close by and have since visited from Australia, with kids. It is a complete rip off!! If you've got a decent zoom you can photograph and see just as much. That is unless you are a budding archeologist.
How was the weather in December when you went?

I live in Los Angeles, and have visited Stonehenge three times. The first was in the early seventies, when you could walk among the stones with hundreds of other people. Rhe second was in the eighties with my kids, when we viewed the stones from afar and heard the noise fro the nearby highway. For my most recent visit, my daughter, teenage grandson and I booked the after hours option through English Heritage. That was far and away the best visit. The road had been re-routed so it was quiet. As it got darker, the stones became much more atmospheric. A flock of ravens dining on flying insects made it even more so. We booked months in advance via a seies of emails that was awkward because of the time difference.
Thank you for very informative video. I've visited Stonehenge in 2018 via Salisbury. We did not visit the cathedral which is a pity.
Exactly, it completely depends on how much imagination that you can add to those rocks. I spent couple of hours walk to Stonehenge from Salisbury via Old Sarum. It is was super exciting, beautiful and definately worhy for hiking.
I was there yesterday and I can say that is worth a visit. I went for the free option (no entry fee), it is a bit of a hike (1h in total back and forth) so bring hiking or comfortable shoes, it was quite windy too.
The bus from the railway station to the site was still £18, which I found expensive for a ~20 minutes bus ride, but it includes an audioguide, and the entrance to the cathedral. Unfortunately I was late for the cathedral but it looks great from the photos. There might be cheaper buses but I did not had the time to properly research.
Needless to say that you will enjoy your visits much more if you research about Stonehenge before hand so you know what you are looking at once you are there!
The English town of Salisbury is beautiful and full of historical landmarks with Tudor/Victorian/Roman and even prehistoric architecture (in the ourskirts that is). If you are travelling with the eurorail pass like me there are trains from Salisbury to the cities of Bristol and Cardiff (~2.5 hs travel time).
Included in Liam Neeson's particular set of skills is constructing large stone structures
Great video.
I skipped Stonehenge on my first London visit since I was concerned that it would effectively burn a day and, since I only had a week in town, that would be a bad use of time. Your video confirmed this.
If I lived in London, or had the means for a longer trip, it would absolutely be worth it.
Another mitigating factor that most tourists don't seem to know is that the Stonehenge we see today is extensively restored. It's not exactly fake, but the Victorian Stonehenge looked much more like a pile of rocks.
Excellent points!
This is true, but as ancient relics go this is a Hollywood A lister, and yes she's had a bit of work done. The stones that where re-erected in the 50's are in their original place and give a better idea of the original structure than a pile of rocks could. I'm lucky enough to of been in the center of the circle and touched the stones, and without wanting to sound like a trippy hippy, that place has a magical feel about it. A must see if you get the chance.
@@1969ginge I concur, but I think one should prioritize the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and, for all its ethical failings, the British Museum when visiting the general area. Stonehenge may be A-list, but there are levels even at that exalted station. JMHO - YMMV.
To me just the fact that these huge stones were brought there from Wales and then stacked on each other, all without cranes or any modern building tools is one of the most mindblowing things in human history.
@@muffinman5741 I concur, but they're not much to see compared to the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, British Museum, National Gallery, and so many other things.
In my opinion, Stonehenge is a must see. Our visit included walking among and in the stones. It was magical.
The cathedral is absolutely magnificent! It’s so cinematic and feels like as if I were in an ancient age😆I’m from Japan 🇯🇵 and there are great historical buildings too but they are so different from the ones that you showed us..which makes me more interested in visiting England🏴 !😍
Hey there, yeah the cathedral was a second highlight after the stones themselves.
I concur.
Paul, in your opinion, what is the premier Gothic Cathedral in Great Britain?
Wow. That’s a big question. I don’t feel I’ve seen enough to be able to answer that properly to be honest. 😬
@@SuitcaseMonkey honesty is good, sir. Thank you.
Westminster Abbey is an astounding place, but I guess it's not usually placed that highly as architecture. Looked great to me, though.
@@studogable The York Minster is pretty impressive, as is Norwich Cathedral
Salisbury Cathedral has a wonderful Tower Tour and was not mentioned (maybe it was not offered when this video was filmed). You need to book the tour in advance, and it is not offered every day. You get some fantastic views from high-up vantage points inside the cathedral and a view outside from the tower. You also get to see what it has taken to keep the tower from collapsing. The Salisbury Tower Tour, combined with the cathedral itself and the Magna Carta, makes it among the best cathedrals to visit in the UK.
I too recommend the tower tour.
Great video. I'm currently sitting in my hotel room in London, arguing with myself wether to visit stonehenge or not.
You just convinced me, that I can have a good time there exploring Salisbury and going to stonehenge afterwards, since I'm a huge history fan.
Cheers mate
Enjoy!
Let me know how you get on
100 percent worth the visit!
Thanks for this video. I would love to visit Stonehedge and now I can add Salisury to my to do list. Thanks again for all the good information you supply. From the Maldives to Bath!!!
Yes, it is worth the visit. We hope to visit London next year in April. We plan to stay the entire month and your videos make it easy to decide what to visit
We stayed at Bath. We booked our Stonehenge trip with Scarper tours. We did the half day tour direct from Bath. Cost 50pds, including entrance fee and we got straight in. Worth the money and Sally our driver was lovely. Would recommend.
We visited on 17 Oct 2023.
Loved the footage this video, particularly of the Cathedral!! Great job as always.
Darling ! I came all the way from Austin Texas during the coronation of King Charles and I visited Stonehenge and it was worth it ! I traveled 11k miles between Texas and the UK and every place I visited it was worth it . Be mindful about all the tourists : we matter to the economy. I’ll be back again to Liverpool and visit Manchester in 2024 . Greetings from Austin Texas ! Claudia
I feel about Stonehenge the way I feel about Loch Ness. I'd rather see a less popular version... I find the more popular a place, the less desire I have to see it. Beautiful video though, I feel like I've had the whole experience
I was at a tiny restaurant inLondon with a friend in the early seventies where you could hear everyone but politely ignored other conversations when an American college professor, rom Idaho I think, was asked about his visit to Stonehenge.. "I was a bit disappointed," he said, and the room fell silent."Lots of the stones had fallen and it was incomplete, while we have a model of the completed Stonehenge on the Columbia River back home." That was followed by elite but snarky comments from around the room to the pint that one would always rather see a perfect model that the original. As an American I stayed silent and would not see Stonehenge until the nineties, when I throughly enjoyed my visit to Stonehenge combined with Salisbury and Old Sarum. Tanks for the video and the great advice.
The model of Stonehenge at Maryhill in Washington State is made of concrete, and is rather the equivalent of the tourist attractions with plastic or concrete dinosaurs as opposed to seeing the actual fossilized bones!
Thank you for sharing. Me & my daughter are planning to go to stonehenge. We are here in UK now.
Thank you for your informative video! We definitely will visit Salisbury, Stonehenge along with Bath for a day trip! Love your sense of humor at the end of video! Keep up your good work ;)
It was a great experience for us. Salisbury was beautiful! Now that I see this I wish I could have seen Bath. Cambridge was also a very beautiful place.
Another great video buddy 🥳
Cheers!
I visited Stonehenge about 2 weeks ago with a group of German tourists. We travelled through the beautiful south of England (Windsor, Cliffs of Dover, Canterbury, Winchester, Salisbury, Montacute House and gardens , Wells, Penshurst, Stourhead, Glastonbury, Bath, St. Ives, Plymouth and Bristol.). Wonderful! We also visited Stonehenge. My first thought was that it was far less big and impressive than in the films that I saw about it. I was a little bit disappointed, but nevertheless glad to have seen it at last. So all in all you should visit this historical site.
I have lived in Salisbury all my life and thank you for exploring my home city
great video, very detailed. appreciate all the links and prices!
Very impressive, especially this Cathedral!
Another great video.
Watching from New Zealand, and hope to revisit the UK once the world settles down ...
I am in the early stages of planning my trip to the UK. Before this video it was a must and now it has fallen on the list. :) Thank you for the video. :)
Glad it helped!
Great idea..making it the dessert of the trip. Bath and Salisbury seem to be the option to make it a trip
Just found your channel last night and I’m loving all this amazing info! 🙌🏽👏🏽 having watch this, I now plan on spend a couple hours at Stonehenge vs all day. It my first trip to London and I’m trying to plan my vacation in a smart and efficient way. Your channel is helping a ton! Thanks again! 😊
Thank you you’re welcome
I think accompanied by someone with your sense of humor might make me want to see a pile of rocks. I almost fell off my chair when you said "Liam Neeson". Love your videos. If I ever make it to England, it will be to try out the cuisine.
Hehe. That’s my favourite joke!
My vote (as an American) is visit Bath and Salisbury thoroughly… and wave to Stonehenge from the motorway.
I prefer visiting prehistoric stones in the Cotswolds, like the Rollrights.
Hello Dara
When the tunnel is built, I think the monument will be very much worth the visit. It will be given back its sense of place. It is run by English Heritage but you can get in as a National Trust member, I went on a sunny day and walked from visitor centre and approached from the north along a line of tumuli, with skylarks singing. I must say it was wonderful.
@@thewealduk9802 hiya! Thanks for replying to my comment. We are probably guilty of judging Stonehenge a bit too harshly, to be fair!😉
I get it, I was disappointed to see it from the road when I was a kid. It was worse then, a road ran by it and there was a dreadful car-park. If and when the tunnel is built, give it another chance.
@@thewealduk9802 good advice 😉
Wow. This is one of my dream travel destination. Thank you for showing it around. 🥰
Excellent video! New subscriber! First like of many 👍 Enjoyed the detailed explanation, even all the food you ate there!
We had a tour planned to Stonehenge this year, but mom got sick in London and had to postpone. She recovered soon after I canceled the tour 😂 . We're planning to go there again next year.
Welcome. I make around a video a month so hope you enjoy the back catalog until the next one. Just released a full length 2 weeks in Malaysia vlog. Hope you enjoy
I took a day trip with Golden Tours at Victoria station to Stonehenge in november 2019 (simply stonehenge tour £55). Tour started at 8am, took 2-3hrs to drive there and back, no extra stops, plus time at stonehenge. Really cold but sunny day, energy around the area mystical, stones rather small compared to expectation. Arrival time in London around 17.00. So I agree with your answer, worth it, yes and no.
Thanks for passing on your experience 😀
Suitcase Monkey, You are too good. The way u present I bet no other TH-camr in the whole world does. After taking inspiration from you I started my own travel channel and learning things day by day from your vlogs but I m not even 1% of you. You should do more videos. That’s the only feedback I can give 😀
Thank you for your kind words. I have TH-camrs I admire in a similar way too so nice to hear. To be honest if I did more, I’d probably have gotten bored or burnt out and have given up by now. 😅
I made a visit to Stonehenge from Salisbury yesterday and i think it is very much worth it and glad i got to tick it off. Great modern visitor centre too. Go visit!
Hello Suit Case Monkey
Loved the video, I do want to go back and see Stonehenge again we where shock by the aurora of it. Plus we did not have time to go in to the Cathedral so that is high on my list to fix. Plus I have read the book Sarum which I highly recommend. So I would say yes to visiting Stonehenge. Thanks again. Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada.
Hey there. Thank you both!
Hey there. Thank you both!
I got to visit during a “special access” event by complete accident, years ago. The sweet lady I lived with was apparently an English heritage member and bought us tickets for one of those days. I didn’t realize how big of a deal that was until now that we’re looking at returning to the UK and my husband (who has never been) is a bit mixed on whether to even pay the admission since it’s so pricey for such a distance of travel.
I think we’ll likely do Avebury and the Kennet Barrow instead, and just see Stone Henge from afar.
Thank you for your honest opinion. I’m now cooling off on the idea of visiting Stonehenge very expensive and time consuming, definitely having second thoughts.
I came back from a 12-day organized coach tour from England, Scotland and Wales, and I'm sorry but this was one of the 2 places I didn't like at all. The second was Eden Project in Wales. But 99% of the other places in the UK were amazing. I fell in love with the little towns and villages architecture and vibes. People, pubs, flowers everywhere, food and even the weather you the Brits complain about all the time (same thing we do here in Poland:). It was my first visit and I hope not the last. There are still villages and cliffs around your country waiting for me.
Glad you enjoyed the trip overall!
Well worth it in my mind. I was skeptical but found it to be rather incredible.
Close by are The West Kennet Long Barrow and Avebury wonderful adjuncts to Stonehenge you will also be alongside the man made Silbury Hill which is still a mystery. Getting some insight to these structures and the Neolithic time period before your visit will certainly enable you to appreciate these monoliths as more than a pile of old stones! Paul, Johannesburg
Love your honest review and recommendation. Thanks, Suitcase Monkey!
I first visited Stonehenge in 1973 and walked around touching and sitting on the stones, when I returned to the UK in 1978 I revisited with my wife, the stones were roped off. However, we had taken a train to Salisbury, visited the cathedral, was asked to leave as a service was about to start, we ended up staying and sat in the choir. It was a great and unexpected experience. The second trip for me to Stonehenge was a bit disappointing compared to the first time.
Yeah guess it’ll never compare to your first trip
@@SuitcaseMonkey no it was different. I had just got married and travelled across the world from New Zealand to live in London and work for a few years. While Stonehenge was becoming commercial by 1978, they also realised, correctly, that the stones were getting damaged and people had to be kept away. However, attending a service and sitting in the choir was a wonderful experience. I am not religious but very much appreciated it. Salisbury Cathedral helps create quite an atmosphere when it is used for the purpose for which it was built. Thank you for the video. Have a good day from Sydney Australia.
@@scottlewisparsons9551 I chanced upon an evening service at Yorkminster and also found it a highlight of my trip.
@@owenduncan4574 I think that the unexpected moments are often what become highlights of a trip.
American here, lived in Bemerton Heath/Salisbury for about year and half and love Salisbury! Stonehenge may be underwhelming to some, but it's worth seeing
Loved this video I now plan (after seeing your vid)... I will book the multi stop ... Windsor bath and stonehenge.. L8RS 🤙
Thank you for this video!!!!! It was actually a topic of discussion at dinner the other night with my in-laws. My MIL wanted to know if we planned to go when visiting London and I just hadn't really thought about it. Then your video popped up and now . . . Well, we're thinking about it! 😆 Honestly, Salisbury sounds more interesting to me, but my husband and son want to see the henge, so doing both in a day sounds like a good possibility. Again, thank you!
There's another stone circle that is not cordoned off. It's also much bigger (larger circle) with a surrounding ditch and takes quite a few minutes to walk around.
The Avebury stone circle just off the A4 between Marlborough and Devises, or off the M4 at Swindon. Google it.
I would like to visit it more. Thank you
Looking forward to visiting Stonehenge and Bath
I did purchase the "Inner Circle Sunset Experiance" which was a pricy,, I however caught COVID in London and was unable to go so my best friend went without me, it was a combo with bath and the cotswalds included,, she said it was fantastic,,, Im hoping to see this time in September I will be using information in this video to get there from Southampton and taking the bus from the station in Salisbury ,, very informative thank you very much this is very useful !!! I also downloaded the Train App that you mentioned,, very helpful
Hope you have better luck this time
If anyone has a car, there is a free way that allows you to see the stones without a ticket. It puts you 5 metres further away than paying customers, but it's free. There's lots of info about it on Google, park on the other side near the army accommodation and walk until you reach the public right of way. You'll get stopped by the worker, but if you say you're going down the free way they'll let you through.
Planning visit to London from 🇨🇦 after summer..enjoying your videos for travel 🧳 info🙂
To go to Stonehenge in and of itself is not worth it. I agree, that you should combine it with other points of interest nearby. The region around Bath was more interesting. Thanks for taking us along in your vlog. All the best. Be Well,. Stay Healthy 👍👍👍 Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.
When i was a young man in the 60's I remember calling at Stonehenge on the way to the IOW, In those days you could for right up to the stones and touching them sent shivers up my spine. There was power in those stones, there although others just claimed I was mad, Well I might be, but I know what i felt, In those days, The visitor centre was a shed and cars parked very near to the stones.
Visiting now means there is not too much to see and the history is the draw a=though you can catch up with them in the internet,,
I visited mid August 1977 and was able to walk amongst the stones.
I love your videos, one of my favorites. Please share London on Christmas. Thank you.
I’m doing this for PATREON this month and TH-cam next December
Thanks so much for this amazing video! I really leaned a lot!
Thanks for the video as I was wondering what bus to get there
ThankU for the fabulous video! It makes me want to visit Stonehenge less now!!! It’s no longer on my bucket list of places to see in person!!! It was enough just viewing your information!!! Your Much Appreciate it! You cheeky monkey you‼️
Been living in London for 3 years and was unsure of doing this one... and also pandemic, bla bla. Your video made me decide to go and use my imagination for a 1 day trip 😀 love your vids
Thanks, really helpful video.
Any recommendations on where to visit in Dec? I typically dislike traveling when it is cold but considering the winter break, looking for a good spot. Thanks for sharing ur travels
Love your channel & look forward to getting back across the pond one day, when Covid allowed. Question for you: Would Avebury provide a similar experience to Stonehenge but with less crowds during peak season and I think Avebury allows you to walk right up to the stones?
Hey there thanks. I haven’t had any experience of it to be honest but others have commented on this video saying this so it’s definitely an option it seems!
Whenever people visit, we point out Stonehenge from the road going by and then take them to Avebury. It is free and you can walk up and touch the stones as you thread your way through the sheep. However, Avebury is so large that it's hard to visualize from the ground but there are lots of leaflets that better display it.
I went to Avebury back about 1960, on a cheap youth-hosteling trip because I'd only just graduated college and had very little money! The circle is huge and consists of separate standing stones, not linked by horizontal ones. The circle is in fact so big that about half of the village is actually inside of the circle, and partly built of pieces of stone from the (now incomplete) circle! In medieval times they found a technique of breaking up the stones by, I think, heating them and then pouring vinegar on them. I saw the circle fairly early on a very foggy morning, so only a couple of other people were around and to walk around with the huge, strangely shaped stones looking out of the mist was quite an experience.The walk around was on rough grass, and sheep were roaming around, grazing. If you go, try to read up about it online. Also, from Avebury you can fairly easily reach other prehistoric monuments, such as the famous White Horse and Wayland Smith's cave (which I believe has been restored, alas, since I saw it) and the West Kennet long barrow. Now, that was fascinating--to be able to walk through the old tomb! They had let small skylights into the roof and had gravel on the floor so you didn't have to wade through mud. And you can reach the end of the Ridgeway, a prehistoric track thousands of years old, supposedly the oldest still-used "road" in England, and walk it all along the crest of the White Horse Hills ...
Most Over-Hyped Uk tourist destination. Many of my visitor friends have it on their bucket list but tbh only few say it was worth visiting.
I get the view of Stonehenge every time I drive to Bath. Don’t really understand the point of paying to queue up when you could just see it from the outside. I would rather go Bath or Cotswold or Bournemouth or see any other historic cathedrals / towns if I were a tourist heading westwards from London … just my opinion though. Great video!
It was much smaller than I imagined. I feel it was overpriced but I am glad that I got to experience it.
❗Thank You very much i really appreciate this video, Me and my Wife going in afew days for a vist and you have helped how to and what else to do there❗ hopefully shall share my experience here 👍
You can get close to the stones during summer and winter solstice and it’s free 😊 it’s the only times a year they allow this
My wife and I were planning to go see it, pile of rocks or not. What this video provided was exactly what I was looking for...what to do in the area with the rest of the day (knowing it couldn't take all that long at the actual site. Question from me, which may or may not have been asked...are there other sites of a similar nature in the area?
Hi. There are other sites nearby that are similar. I can’t remember the names but if you google it you’ll find them
Curious that two completely different people:
1. the farmers from Anatolia (Turkey) who arrived around 4000 BC did the initial work on Stonehenge, working with the smaller blue stones from Wales, about 110 miles away, from about 3000 BC to 2600 BC. They look like the people of the Mediterranean, particularly Sardinia.
2. the Pastorial Steppe people (from Ukraine) who arrived around 2600 BC, replacing almost completely the original farmers (probably due to the plague, not warfare) who built Stonehenge 3, with the larger Sandstone boulders, from just 16 miles away. They look like the people we associate with the 'Nordic' look, the first people who looked 'Nordic' to appear in Europe.
Two totally different people, who decided to work on the same project, putting their own stamp on it. Interesting.
Nice video! I would like to go to Stonehenge and Bath with family. I prefer to go to Stonehenge from London Waterloo and stay 1 night at Salisbury because of two oldies. Then we go to Bath next day. May I ask about the public transport from Salisbury to Bath? Thx.
Hey thanks. I’ve never done the journey but google maps will give you the answer
I look forward to the Cambridge vid! Think you'll do Oxford as well?
Hi there. I’ve already covered both places on Patreon. I’m possibly not going to be doing a TH-cam version so check them out there if you’re interested.
The Liam Neeson joke at 7:30 took me so off guard hahahahhahahahahahhahahah
I liked your review...
Thank you this video
Thank you for the video : CHEERS!
Is Stonehenge fenced in and enclosed? As I was wondering whether I could meditate right in the centre for 5 minutes?
Where would you recommend to visit near/not too far from London?
