When is the Best Time to Visit Stonehenge?

Consider the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) for an ideal visit. Revel in milder weather and fewer crowds during these periods, ensuring a more intimate encounter with this ancient marvel. In spring, witness the landscape blossoming with vibrant flowers, providing a picturesque backdrop. Autumn showcases stunning fall foliage, further enhancing the site’s beauty.

Optimize your Stonehenge experience with strategic planning. The least crowded days, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, offer a serene atmosphere for exploration, while weekends tend to be busier, requiring careful consideration. Aim for early morning or late afternoon visits to capture the site’s magic in a quieter ambiance.

How Much Time Should I Plan to Visit Stonehenge?

To thoroughly experience Stonehenge and its surroundings, you should plan to spend at least 3 hours at the site. This time allocation will allow you to explore the monument, visit the visitor center, and take in the surrounding natural beauty.
Here’s a suggested itinerary:

Morning (1-2 hours)
Start your day at Stonehenge by entering the monument and exploring the inner circle of standing stones. Take your time to admire the unique architecture and the enigmatic aura of the stones.

My only complaint was that I wish we had more time. But they gave us as much as they could considering we visited three places. Excellent tour. Our guide, James, was the best! Extremely knowledgeable and just the right amount of British wit. Our driver, Thomas, did a fantastic job and was extremely friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and can’t wait to book another next time we are back in London.

Wonderful trip! A great full day. The whole trip was great. Stonehenge was very interesting. Our guide Leon was extremely knowledgeable and made our experience at Stonehenge even better. We loved the trip and it was a terrific day. The fish and chips at the pub lunch were quite good.

5* JasmineKelly, Dec 2023  [Source: Viator]

Memorable experience! Saint Nicholas was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and informative. He made this tour a lot of fun with his singing, dancing, and his jokes. If I ever come back to London I’d book this tour just to be able to enjoy his company again. This tour involved a little bit of everything. My daughter and I enjoyed learning about the history of each stop and we enjoyed the pub lunch.
