- How to See Stonehenge Inner Circle
There are two ways to see the Stonehenge Inner Circle: a special inner circle tour or applying for tickets through the English Heritage website. Tickets allow for special access to the inner circle, allowing you to get up close to the stones. Standard entrance tickets only allow you to view the stone circle from afar, behind a rope. Not only do Stonehenge inner circle viewings enable you to access the inner circle, but they also take place outside normal admission times. This is often at sunrise or sunset, the perfect time for viewing the magic of Stonehenge.
Please note that if you wish to purchase tickets, it’s recommended to do so well in advance as visitor numbers are limited and tickets get sold out.
How to see Stonehenge inner circle:
We offer several different tours to the Stonehenge inner circle. Stonehenge Inner Circles tours are very exclusive and offered on only a few select dates during the year.
1, The first place to look is here >>>
Our inner circle tour is available in the early morning and late evening, enabling you to view either sunrise or sunset, when the stones take you back 5000 years to the Neolithic Age. As you wander the inner circle, you get to fully appreciate their enormous scale and appreciate even more the incredible feat of their very existence. With the morning tour, you will see the inner circle first and then continue onto the elegant Georgian city of Bath. Enjoy a guided walking tour of Bath with an optional visit to the 2000-year-old Roman Baths. Finally, we drive to the small picture postcard medieval village of Laco*ck to enjoy breakfast at a 14th-century pub. The evening tour is reversed, starting in Bath, followed by dinner, and ending with a visit at sunset to the Stone Circle.
The sunrise tour is available on most Mondays and Thursdays. The sunset tour is available on most Sundays and Wednesdays.
2. The second place to look is here >>>
This is our evening tour and is similar to the first option. The difference is that there is no visit to Laco*ck and dinner is served at a restaurant in Bath. Enjoy this special access viewing away from the crowds and after Stonehenge is closed to the general public. This tour is available on most Tuesdays and Saturdays.
3. The third place to look is here >>>.
With this option, you will visit the inner circle in the early morning before it opens to the general public. Afterward, travel to the historic town of Windsor, where you will enjoy a guided walking tour of Windsor’s town centre. Food and drink are not included, but there are many pubs and cafes. Alternatively, visit the magnificent Windsor Castle, which is located within the town, a 900-year-old royal residence used by King Charles III, where you can view sumptuous artwork and furnishings. Within the grounds of the Castle lies St George’s Chapel, where Queen Elizabeth was laid to rest. There is also a cafe and gift shop in the Castle. This tour operates on most Mondays and Saturdays.
4. Private transfer from Central London With Early or Late Access.
Another way to see the inner circle at Stonehenge is to take a special access private tour. You will be collected from your Central London hotel to visit Stonehenge early in the morning or later in the evening, with special access. Tickets must be purchased from the English Heritage website. We advise booking well in advance as tickets will get sold out. With this private transfer, you can combine a visit with other locations, including the stones at Avebury, the Georgian city of Bath, and Windsor Castle. Please contact us for more information.
5. Visiting Independently:
English Heritage, which is in charge of running and preserving Stonehenge, does offer a limited number of tickets to the public to see the inner circle. These tickets sell out fast, and you should apply well in advance. You can see more information about an independent visit and apply for tickets here.
6. Stonehenge Tours Without Special Access
We also offer a range of tours to Stonehenge without access to the inner circle; these tours include a visit to nearby sites such as Bath, Windsor Castle, and Oxford. They include luxury transportation in an air-conditioned coach and an experienced guide. You can see our range of tours via the link here >>>
