Over a million people a year visit Stonehenge and most stay behind the rope barrier. So how do you get beyond the ropes and go inside the inner circle?
Access to the inner circle is strictly limited to 30 people at a time and takes place early in the morning or in the evening when Stonehenge has closed to the public. There are only a few scheduled tours to the inner circle all of which are listed below for 2024/5. Spaces sell out very quickly and when they're gone, they're gone!
The early morning tours from London mean a really early start - anytime between 4 and 5am. The evening tours mean a late arrival time back in London usually around 10pm.
The first tour listed gives plenty of time to see Stonehenge and the surrounding landscape as seen on Secrets of Stonehenge (PBS) or National Geographic. Many of the others, except the last two, give very little time at the Visitor Centre, but you do get to see other sights.
If these tours do not fit in with your schedule, have a look at our Day Tours from London page for ideas.
However you decide to go - have a brilliant time!
