Book Stonehenge Tickets in Advance
Stonehenge admission (and any inner-circle tickets) is sold by the site separately — reserve on the official English Heritage website to guarantee entry.
Expect Uneven Ground
Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes; paths are grassy and can be slippery after rain even though the main approach is short.

Stay Weather-Ready
