StonehengeWe spend around 90-120 minutes at Stonehenge, enough time to explore this world famous monument from 4000-5,000 years ago, and still have enough time for the gift shop or a quick coffee, perhaps a rock cake! Admission to Stonehenge is not automatically included in the transfer, you must select the 'Upgrade request' in the 'Book this Tour' box when making your booking. By purchasing the upgrade to allow admission at Stonehenge you get a complementary audio guide in a choice of languages, you can enter the new visitor centre and take the train/coach provided to see the Stones. Please note - From 2014 the coach park is no longer opposite the Stones. If you choose not to enter Stonehenge (ie. if you do not select the 'upgrade') there is a gift shop, cafe and toilets available, but you will not be able to see the Stones from the coach park area and you wll not be able to enter the visitor centre.Advance booking is required for visits to Stonehenge in 2014, as entrance will be managed through timed tickets. Selecting the 'Upgrade request' and purchsing the entry ticket when you book the transfer will be the only way to guarantee entry at the required time. If you do not pre-book your entry ticket we cannot guarantee you will be allowed entry on the day, or, if you are allowed entry this may not be within the timings allowed on our transfer.
