Stonehenge is one of the UK%u2019s leading sightseeing tour attractions and a Stonehenge Tour is usually very high on their list when visiting the UK. Stonehenge is located in Wiltshire - about 2 miles west of Amesbury and 8 miles north of Salisbury. Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world and archaeologists believe that the standing stones were erected around 2200 BC and the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. At present Stonehenge is actually owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, and you can see this amazing piece of history daily all throughout the year.
As previously mentioned Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in the whole of Britain and has attracted visitors from earliest times. Stonehenge is a timeless monument to the people who built it. There are many Stonehenge Tours that originate out of London, and these tours can incorporate other elements of a often include visiting other popular destinations such as the Roman Baths and Windsor Castle. At present, than 800,000 people a year go through the turnstiles to see Stonehenge, while at least another 200,000 stand at the roadside and peer through the fence. Millions glimpse the stones as they drive past on the A303 and A344 on their way to or from London or the South West. So if you are planning on visiting the south west and don%u2019t fancy the M5 then why not take the A303 and see a more scenic view of the UK while heading south west %u2013 its well worth it.
A tour of Stonehenge is relatively short; there are no long queues and nothing to distract you away from what you came to see. What can take the time is the travel to Stonehenge but again that depends on where you are travelling from. Most Stonehenge Tours generally incorporate other destinations including Bath and Windsor as all three can be seen in a day with a good guide and transport. A Stonehenge Tour from Evan Evans can see you picked up at your London Hotel around 8:30am and returned back at around 7pm and in that time you could have visited Stonehenge, the Royal Baths and Windsor Castle.
