Public Transport
It’s easy to travel to Stonehenge by public transport and every year more and more people are choosing to leave their car at home.
- Nearest bus and railway stations: Salisbury (12 miles/19 kms) away.
- By train: Regular services to Salisbury from London, Bristol/Bath and Southampton.
- By taxi: Available at Salisbury train station.
Please note: there is a 25-30 minute walk (approximately 1½ miles or 2km) from the bus drop-off/collection point at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre to Stonehenge. This walk is across National Trust land which is uneven: sensible footwear and a torch are advisable.
