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
Comment from : pukka2701

In my opinion, Stonehenge is a must see Our visit included walking among and in the stones It was magical
Comment from : Jeffrey Lucas

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 aroundbrThe 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

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

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! 👍

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

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 !

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
Comment from : Kathy Russell

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
Comment from : Carlos Ramos

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
Comment from : Sally Kennedy

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
Comment from : IntoTheWhite

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 brbrThe 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 researchbrbrNeedless 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!brbrThe 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 (25 hs travel time)

Why are you saying hell I AM GONE
Comment from : Simon Jensen

Great video I'm currently sitting in my hotel room in London, arguing with myself wether to visit stonehenge or notbrYou just convinced me, that I can have a good time there exploring Salisbury and going to stonehenge afterwards, since I'm a huge history fanbrbrCheers mate
Comment from : DennisIsstSpinat

Well worth it in my mind I was skeptical but found it to be rather incredible
Comment from : Matt Willoughby

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!

Comment from : Paul Whitehouse

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
Comment from : Lauren Waller

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
Comment from : Sam Wadd

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
Comment from : Tico Mike

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😅
Comment from : Bumblebee

When I went in 82, we were not allowed within 50 yards lol
Comment from : Rjames Strachan

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 brbrI think we’ll likely do Avebury and the Kennet Barrow instead, and just see Stone Henge from afar
Comment from : Claire Campbell - Hey Blondie!

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
Comment from : Ebony Matias

Loved this video I now plan (after seeing your vid) I will book the multi stop Windsor bath and stonehenge L8RS 🤙
Comment from : T J

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
Comment from : Adam Cole

Can you visit the gift shop without paying to see the circle?
Comment from : Hermione Gardener

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!
Comment from : rockin roller

Hahahahahaha Liam Neeson!!!! Gold!
Comment from : Louise Leonard

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 :)

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‼️
Comment from : STEFHANI PARRISH

I would like to visit it more Thank you
Comment from : David

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 visitingbrbrI 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!
Comment from : DB10 CRUZ

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 almostbrempty 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!
Comment from : Michael Corner

Worth it? No it's not Dig it up and move it to the N E C in Birmingham
Comment from : Geoff Wright

Coming to England from across the pond, and Stonehenge and Avebury Circle is at the top of our list Your videos are very informative and entertaining! Love the personality you put into it!
Comment from : Dale Gardner

I came back from a 12-day organized coach tour from England, Scotland and Wales, and I'm sorry but this was one of the 2 places I didn't like at all The second was Eden Project in Wales But 99 of the other places in the UK were amazing I fell in love with the little towns and villages architecture and vibes People, pubs, flowers everywhere, food and even the weather you the Brits complain about all the time (same thing we do here in Poland:) It was my first visit and I hope not the last There are still villages and cliffs around your country waiting for me
Comment from : Iza Osinska

Thank you for your informative video! We definitely will visit Salisbury, Stonehenge along with Bath for a day trip! Love your sense of humor at the end of video! Keep up your good work ;)

i felt nothing while i was there, just a pile of rocks
Comment from : Man of Steel

Thanks for the video as I was wondering what bus to get there
Comment from : nolimit7

Looking forward to visiting Stonehenge and Bath
Comment from : J W

Thanks so much for this amazing video! I really leaned a lot!
Comment from : Flynn On Tour

If anyone has a car, there is a free way that allows you to see the stones without a ticket It puts you 5 metres further away than paying customers, but it's free There's lots of info about it on Google, park on the other side near the army accommodation and walk until you reach the public right of way You'll get stopped by the worker, but if you say you're going down the free way they'll let you through
Comment from : omblae

Exactly, it completely depends on how much imagination that you can add to those rocks I spent couple of hours walk to Stonehenge from Salisbury via Old Sarum It is was super exciting, beautiful and definately worhy for hiking
Comment from : Bill Ma

I was at a tiny restaurant inLondon with a friend in the early seventies where you could hear everyone but politely ignored other conversations when an American college professor, rom Idaho I think, was asked about his visit to Stonehenge "I was a bit disappointed," he said, and the room fell silent"Lots of the stones had fallen and it was incomplete, while we have a model of the completed Stonehenge on the Columbia River back home" That was followed by elite but snarky comments from around the room to the pint that one would always rather see a perfect model that the original As an American I stayed silent and would not see Stonehenge until the nineties, when I throughly enjoyed my visit to Stonehenge combined with Salisbury and Old Sarum Tanks for the video and the great advice
Comment from : Owen Duncan

I went to Stonehenge in the 80s We could get in and touch the stones It never cost anything It is a complete waste of money and time
Comment from : Sylvia Black

I visited Stonehenge with my parents in the late 1970s - a time when there was no entry charged and when we could walk through and (lightly) touch the stones It was also well before the “selfie” was official, but looking back through photos I see that we managed a few quirky photos (but definitely did not sit on the rocks) We also found Old Sarum by chance and what a find it was! Your video makes me want to revisit Salisbury and the detailed info you provided is excellent But having already had so much freedom to explore Stonehenge and Old Sarum close-up, I don’t think I’d be revisiting those ancient landmarks
Comment from : Aussie Anne

HEY THANKS FOR THIS KIND CHANEL IS AWSOME! REGARDS FROM BOGOTÁ COLOMBIA!!
Comment from : yessika Alexandra perez Villamil

I look forward to the Cambridge vid! Think you'll do Oxford as well?
Comment from : Jonathan Thompson

Stonehenge has been on my lifetime bucket list and I’ll get to see it in December I love the idea of spending the day in Salisbury and ending it with Stonehenge! Thank you for all the information!
Comment from : Chez G

Salisbury Cathedral has a wonderful Tower Tour and was not mentioned (maybe it was not offered when this video was filmed) You need to book the tour in advance, and it is not offered every day You get some fantastic views from high-up vantage points inside the cathedral and a view outside from the tower You also get to see what it has taken to keep the tower from collapsing The Salisbury Tower Tour, combined with the cathedral itself and the Magna Carta, makes it among the best cathedrals to visit in the UK
Comment from : K-Fan

Any recommendations on where to visit in Dec? I typically dislike traveling when it is cold but considering the winter break, looking for a good spot Thanks for sharing ur travels

Comment from : Russ Means

Nice Nice fd
Comment from : Baby

Wow This is one of my dream travel destination Thank you for showing it around 🥰
Comment from : Simply EMIE

This video makes me want to take the time to go Knowing about your route and especially the cathedral being on the route, because I already wanted to see that, is quite helpful!
Comment from : Ann Bickel

Come in Afghanistan have a visit here and take videos from Hazarastan, Bameyan, it has so interesting places and historical figures and heritages, like Buda , Zahak city, Ghulghula city and Bnde AmirbrDo not miss therebrThanks
Comment from : فرساد آزر

Cathedral worth it
Comment from : Mn David

Thank you for this video! The cathedral was beautiful, I think I enjoyed it more than the Stonehenge itself
Comment from : Lee Ann Ng

👍👊
Comment from : Otavio Vieira

I love your videos, one of my favorites Please share London on Christmas Thank you
Comment from : chriseeluv

My vote (as an American) is visit Bath and Salisbury thoroughly… and wave to Stonehenge from the motorwaybrI prefer visiting prehistoric stones in the Cotswolds, like the Rollrights
Comment from : Magenta Otter Travels

I love that you did this video! Every time I talk to an American about travelling to England I tell them not to go to Stonehenge! Lol
Comment from : Magenta Otter Travels

great video, very detailed appreciate all the links and prices!
Comment from : CultureChap

100 percent worth the visit!
Comment from : Amber

Great video These designs are also found in Nagaland, India
Comment from : VBA A2Z

Visited Stonehenge when stationed in the forces near Salisbury during the 1960s I was able to walk amongst the stones as in the early photos on the video Old Sarum is fascinating too Salisbury city is certainly worth a visit as it has the wonderful cathedral and many preserved buildings Lovely area overallbrThanks Suitcase Monkey for bringing back such great memories!
Comment from : Peter Collins

To go to Stonehenge in and of itself is not worth it I agree, that you should combine it with other points of interest nearby The region around Bath was more interesting Thanks for taking us along in your vlog All the best Be Well, Stay Healthy 👍👍👍 Harriet and Jim Richmond, Va
Comment from : Costas World of Music Memories

Love your honest review and recommendation Thanks, Suitcase Monkey!

Comment from : Carolina A

Great video Paul! Always a pleasure to watch! You have a fantastic sense of humour !
Comment from : Benjamin Drewe

Love your channel & look forward to getting back across the pond one day, when Covid allowed Question for you: Would Avebury provide a similar experience to Stonehenge but with less crowds during peak season and I think Avebury allows you to walk right up to the stones?
Comment from : Barbara Heck

Always enjoy watching your channel, please introduce more of the places to visit around London
Comment from : Mike Ong

I love your style of travel vlogging Very informative videos with funny quips scattered throughout 🤣
Comment from : Chelsea DeAraugo

Hello Suit Case MonkeybrbrLoved the video, I do want to go back and see Stonehenge again we where shock by the aurora of it Plus we did not have time to go in to the Cathedral so that is high on my list to fix Plus I have read the book Sarum which I highly recommend So I would say yes to visiting Stonehenge Thanks again Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada
Comment from : Chris Smith

Definitely want to visit Stonehenge, and would take in Salisbury and Bath over several days We don't travel fast Very good information in your video Thx!
Comment from : Lili Rehak

I first visited Stonehenge in 1973 and walked around touching and sitting on the stones, when I returned to the UK in 1978 I revisited with my wife, the stones were roped off However, we had taken a train to Salisbury, visited the cathedral, was asked to leave as a service was about to start, we ended up staying and sat in the choir It was a great and unexpected experience The second trip for me to Stonehenge was a bit disappointing compared to the first time
Comment from : Scott Lewis Parsons

Been living in London for 3 years and was unsure of doing this one and also pandemic, bla bla Your video made me decide to go and use my imagination for a 1 day trip 😀 love your vids
