London offers abundant history, art, and culture, with easy day trips to palaces, castles, gardens, and scenic wonders. Stonehenge, a must-visit in the UK, is somewhat remote and challenging to reach from major cities like London or Bath.
In London, you will find package tours available that can help your Bath, Stonehenge and Windsor tour within one day. You will also be offered a free lunch. The tour will start in the evening.
A Visit to Stonehenge
Stonehenge, which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is located in Salisbury Plain in a county called Wiltshire in England. People who visit London are always keen to make a day trip to this destination.
You will get the first glimpse of Stonehenge just after a 2-hour drive, as your bus will approach the hallowed site. From the starting point of the tour, you have to buy your tickets. There is a museum where you will enter and you will find the display of the following that were discovered:
- Jewelry
- Pottery
- Tools.
Most people are, however, more interested to see the reconstruction of that human face that is considered to be a 5000-year-old. This has been assembled from bones which were found at the site.
There is another attraction that was reconstructed – Neolithic dwellings, which are the huts that recreate the prehistoric homes. They were discovered at Durrington Walls, which is a mile away from Stonehenge.
Inside, a bedroom, a fireplace, and various household items were arranged to recreate the day-to-day activities of the people who inhabited this area circa 2500 BC.
Do you want to see Windsor Castle, Bath, and Stonehenge in one day?
As mentioned before by taking a tour package, you can visit all these three important places on the same day:
- Windsor Castle
- Bath
- Stonehenge.
There are many such day trips available from London to visit many other sight-seeing places. However, if you are particularly interested in visiting the above sites comfortably, then buying a tour package is the best option.
If you plan to drive your own vehicle then it is better to start at early morning hours. If you start during late hours then it can be quite dangerous too.
Want to tour with public transportation?
If you prefer take public transport, then trains are available for Salisbury, and then from there, catch the bus to Stonehenge. The journey will take at least two hours from both Bath and London. The bus is available between Salisbury and Stonehenge after every hour.
How to book your train tickets
For buying train tickets, you can visit Trainline.com, where you can buy your tickets for the train from Bath to Salisbury. You can also buy your open day return ticket if your time to return back is not certain.
If you want to save some money on your train tickets and travel with your family, then it is better to buy a rail card.
