The Stone Circle
The visitor path runs all the way round the Stone Circle and comes as close as 5 metres to the stones; during normal opening hours visitors stay on the path, which protects the fragile archaeology below the grass. Look for the Heel Stone outside the circle, over which the sun rises at the summer solstice.
The landscape
A visitor shuttle bus runs every few minutes between the visitor centre and the stones, a ride of 5 to 10 minutes. You can also walk, in 25 to 40 minutes each way, across National Trust land past Bronze Age burial mounds, with panels explaining the features along the route.
The visitor centre
The exhibition tells the story of the stones, the landscape and the people who built them, with nearly 300 archaeological objects on loan from Salisbury Museum and Wiltshire Museum in Devizes. Outside are reconstructed Neolithic houses, and a free audio tour can be downloaded in 12 languages.
