This experience will allow you to explore ancient Stonehenge, which is a prehistoric monument built around 2500 BCE. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is known for its massive stones placed in a circular shape. Entrance to the site will be managed using a timed ticketing system. While there, you'll be able to walk around the renowned stone structure. An outdoor gallery featuring reconstructed homes from the Neolithic period can be seen as well. The tour will also offer access to the visitor center, which features several exhibits related to the history of Stonehenge.

At the heart of the World Heritage Site, you’ll find Stonehenge — the great, ancient stone circle whose visible remains are the substantial remnants of the last in a sequence of monuments built between about 3000 BC and 1600 BC. As you walk around the site you’ll see the circular arrangement aligned with the rising sun at the midsummer solstice, and get a clear sense of the scale and layout of this prehistoric landscape filled with ceremonial structures. You’ll also encounter the story of how the monument was made and the questions that still surround it. The stones show the ingenuity of people working with very basic tools: they were shaped, fitted with mortises and tenons to link uprights and lintels, and set into pits dug with antlers and bones. Moving and raising these stones required huge organisation, with some boulders carried tens and sometimes hundreds of miles by land and water. Why it was built remains debated — sun worship, a healing sanctuary, sacred burials or something else are all possibilities — and you can explore the site and decide for yourself what Stonehenge might have meant to its builders.
