STONEHENGE: Worth the Visit? A Candid review | Salisbury Day Trip

So has this video made you more or less likely to visit Stonehenge? Let me know as I'm curious to hear!

Magna Carta was 'echoed by the declaration of independence'? Whom did we get our independence from? I don't understand

In my opinion, Stonehenge is a must see. Our visit included walking among and in the stones. It was magical.

There's another stone circle that is not cordoned off. It's also much bigger (larger circle) with a surrounding ditch and takes quite a few minutes to walk around.
The Avebury stone circle just off the A4 between Marlborough and Devises, or off the M4 at Swindon. Google it.

I’m in the future but I still don’t see a video about Windsor

Quick correction: during the solstice you can visit the inside of the circle the whole night for free.....

I visited Stonehenge about 2 weeks ago with a group of German tourists. We travelled through the beautiful south of England (Windsor, Cliffs of Dover, Canterbury, Winchester, Salisbury, Montacute House and gardens , Wells, Penshurst, Stourhead, Glastonbury, Bath, St. Ives, Plymouth and Bristol.). Wonderful! We also visited Stonehenge. My first thought was that it was far less big and impressive than in the films that I saw about it. I was a little bit disappointed, but nevertheless glad to have seen it at last. So all in all you should visit this historical site.

❗Thank You very much i really appreciate this video, Me and my Wife going in afew days for a vist and you have helped how to and what else to do there❗ hopefully shall share my experience here 👍

It was used in the ancient time as part of a blessing rite for those who went to the war - to beat the enemies ❤

Can you visit only the visitor centre and museum without paying for the stones?

Love the cute Suitcase Monkey logo! 👍

i was there last week

Is bus tour and ticket the same thing? I don’t want a guided tour, just need the bus to Stonehenge from Salisbury

Darling ! I came all the way from Austin Texas during the coronation of King Charles and I visited Stonehenge and it was worth it ! I traveled 11k miles between Texas and the UK and every place I visited it was worth it . Be mindful about all the tourists : we matter to the economy. I’ll be back again to Liverpool and visit Manchester in 2024 . Greetings from Austin Texas ! Claudia

I live in Los Angeles, and have visited Stonehenge three times. The first was in the early seventies, when you could walk among the stones with hundreds of other people. Rhe second was in the eighties with my kids, when we viewed the stones from afar and heard the noise fro the nearby highway. For my most recent visit, my daughter, teenage grandson and I booked the after hours option through English Heritage. That was far and away the best visit. The road had been re-routed so it was quiet. As it got darker, the stones became much more atmospheric. A flock of ravens dining on flying insects made it even more so. We booked months in advance via a seies of emails that was awkward because of the time difference.

Yes, it is worth the visit. We hope to visit London next year in April. We plan to stay the entire month and your videos make it easy to decide what to visit

Included in Liam Neeson's particular set of skills is constructing large stone structures

I visited Stonehenge about the same time. I am from the US. I was so glad I went. I felt very honored to see it.

Didn't mention that it was reassembled/restored and cemented into place in the 50s and 60s. A quick Google will bring up the pictures.

I was there yesterday and I can say that is worth a visit. I went for the free option (no entry fee), it is a bit of a hike (1h in total back and forth) so bring hiking or comfortable shoes, it was quite windy too.

The bus from the railway station to the site was still £18, which I found expensive for a ~20 minutes bus ride, but it includes an audioguide, and the entrance to the cathedral. Unfortunately I was late for the cathedral but it looks great from the photos. There might be cheaper buses but I did not had the time to properly research.

Needless to say that you will enjoy your visits much more if you research about Stonehenge before hand so you know what you are looking at once you are there!

The English town of Salisbury is beautiful and full of historical landmarks with Tudor/Victorian/Roman and even prehistoric architecture (in the ourskirts that is). If you are travelling with the eurorail pass like me there are trains from Salisbury to the cities of Bristol and Cardiff (~2.5 hs travel time).

Why are you saying hell. I AM GONE.

Great video. I'm currently sitting in my hotel room in London, arguing with myself wether to visit stonehenge or not.
You just convinced me, that I can have a good time there exploring Salisbury and going to stonehenge afterwards, since I'm a huge history fan.

Cheers mate

Well worth it in my mind. I was skeptical but found it to be rather incredible.

Just found your channel last night and I’m loving all this amazing info! 🙌🏽👏🏽 having watch this, I now plan on spend a couple hours at Stonehenge vs all day. It my first trip to London and I’m trying to plan my vacation in a smart and efficient way. Your channel is helping a ton! Thanks again! 😊

Close by are The West Kennet Long Barrow and Avebury wonderful adjuncts to Stonehenge you will also be alongside the man made Silbury Hill which is still a mystery. Getting some insight to these structures and the Neolithic time period before your visit will certainly enable you to appreciate these monoliths as more than a pile of old stones! Paul, Johannesburg

You can get close to the stones during summer and winter solstice and it’s free 😊 it’s the only times a year they allow this

May I recommend you to listen or read “The search for sacred knowledge by Dolores Cannon. Chapter 21 talks about the original Stonehenge and it presents a refreshing knowledge that will resonate with you.

It was a great experience for us. Salisbury was beautiful! Now that I see this I wish I could have seen Bath. Cambridge was also a very beautiful place.

I just visited uk last week. None of the locals recommended it😂 waste of time money. I won’t be surprised if in future it come out as a fake😅

When I went in 82, we were not allowed within 50 yards lol

I got to visit during a “special access” event by complete accident, years ago. The sweet lady I lived with was apparently an English heritage member and bought us tickets for one of those days. I didn’t realize how big of a deal that was until now that we’re looking at returning to the UK and my husband (who has never been) is a bit mixed on whether to even pay the admission since it’s so pricey for such a distance of travel.

I think we’ll likely do Avebury and the Kennet Barrow instead, and just see Stone Henge from afar.

Thank you for your honest opinion. I’m now cooling off on the idea of visiting Stonehenge very expensive and time consuming, definitely having second thoughts.

Loved this video I now plan (after seeing your vid)... I will book the multi stop ... Windsor bath and stonehenge.. L8RS 🤙

Lovely video featuring this rather awe inspiring place! I personally live very close to the Stonehenge site and I had the amazing opportunity to actually work there throughout the summer of 2022. It's a lovely place to work, the surrounding scenery treats you to some amazing views (one time we had a lovely double rainbow over the hill that the buses take and during the heatwave we saw three hares fighting in a nearby field close to where the buses leave the centre) and just the general atmosphere is so calming. The team there are brilliant too - some of them are honestly really knowledgable about the site and hearing talks from some of them is a real treat. You could very easily spend an entire day exploring the area around Stonehenge too - there's lots of different public pathways that you can take with some following the River Avon and into nearby villages. If you're walking around the area, look out for little white stickers with a green arrow that have the Wiltshire Council logo - these tend to be the public pathways.

I have lived in Salisbury all my life and thank you for exploring my home city

Can you visit the gift shop without paying to see the circle?

Yep! It’s a huge waste of time, there’s nothing religious about it, the people were only trying to build a stone shelter when they ran out of stones!

Hahahahahaha Liam Neeson!!!! Gold!

American here, lived in Bemerton Heath/Salisbury for about year and half and love Salisbury! Stonehenge may be underwhelming to some, but it's worth seeing

I am in the early stages of planning my trip to the UK. Before this video it was a must and now it has fallen on the list. :) Thank you for the video. :)

I live about a 20 minute walk from Stonehenge

스톤헨지는 고대 수메르거인들의 인신공양 흑주술 장치입니다 현재는 그주술적 목적이 영국마녀회와 미국사탄교에
의해 변형되어 세계 곳곳에 출몰하는데요 어서 파괴해야합니다.이장치의 특징은 지구지하에 현재도 살고있는 초고대부터 존재한 거대뱀이 사탄인데 사탄에게 인간들의 영혼을 인도하는것이 특징이며 이 주술이 행해지기 위해선 대량의 황금이 필요합니다 그래서 스톤헨지는 은행과 함께 등장한것입니다 파괴하여 흔적을 지우는것이 근처에서 사망한 인간들의
영혼들의 안식에 큰 도움이 될것입니다...파괴할때엔 반드시 주신이신 "야훼"를 발음하여 영혼을 보호하세요.
인류의 주적이며 주신이신 "야훼"의 주적인 렙틸리언들에게 철퇴를 내리는 인류의 대업적으로 "야훼"께서
기억하시고 큰 축복을 내리실것입니다.렙틸리언들은 인류에 의해 제거될것이고 인류는 다시 장수의축복을받아
천년의 이상의 수명도 가지게 될것입니다.

ThankU for the fabulous video! It makes me want to visit Stonehenge less now!!! It’s no longer on my bucket list of places to see in person!!! It was enough just viewing your information!!! Your Much Appreciate it! You cheeky monkey you‼️

I would like to visit it more. Thank you

Most Over-Hyped Uk tourist destination. Many of my visitor friends have it on their bucket list but tbh only few say it was worth visiting.

I get the view of Stonehenge every time I drive to Bath. Don’t really understand the point of paying to queue up when you could just see it from the outside. I would rather go Bath or Cotswold or Bournemouth or see any other historic cathedrals / towns if I were a tourist heading westwards from London … just my opinion though. Great video!

My wife and I spent 2 full days in Salisbury in September 2018. This was in the wake of the Skripal poisonings, so the place was almost
empty. We had booked a guided tour inside the stones far in advance, and it was worth it!! Also really enjoyed both Old Sarum and the Cathedral. It was a very worthwhile 2 days, indeed!

The title of this video actually pisses me off. "Is it WORTH it?" Find out about Stonehenge before visiting - then you will be able to measure the phenomenon which is Stonehenge, against the terrible trauma of a tourist maybe "wasting" a day.

Worth it? No it's not. Dig it up and move it to the N E C in Birmingham.
