Day trips to Stonehenge from London

Enjoy both Bath – a beautiful Georgian spa town – and the prehistoric Stonehenge on this double-dip day trip. Stop-off points include Bath Abbey and the Jane Austen Centre.

You can’t get much more quintessentially English than a round-trip to Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath. All entrance fees are included and you’ll be led around by a Blue Badge tour guide. They know their stuff.

Treat yourself (and why wouldn't you?) to a private drive down to Stonehenge. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the stones before being taken back to London by your chauffeur. There's nothing like a little bit of luxury every now and then.

Ever heard of Woodhenge? It's the little sister to the big stone circle and is every bit as magical (literally, according to some). And then there’s the Avebury Stone Circle – built a few thousand years later than Stonehenge but just as enthralling. 

You’ll need to make your own way down but there can’t be many better ways to enjoy Stonehenge and the nearby area than by plunging from a plane at 15,000 feet height in a tandem skydive. Make sure those straps are tight though, eh?

Slightly less stressful than a skydive but probably just as good. Here’s how to get a very different view of the stone circle – via a 30-minute chopper ride across the Salisbury Plain.
