Trip Diary – April/May 2017 – Salisbury – Day 21 – Stonehenge and Salisbury Town

We’re all familiar with visual images of people wandering around among the stones of Stonehenge. The truth is not quite the same, however. A highway runs by the site of Stonehenge no more than a few hundred yards away, but cannot reach the site. A shuttle bus from the Visitor Centre is the main way visitors access the site a few miles away.

Once you get to the site, you join a line (queue) of tourists going around the monument clockwise or counter-clockwise. Here you get a choice – which direction to go – but you can’t get any closer than about 50 yards. At certain times of the year (equinox and solstice, etc.) one can get a special ticket that gets them into the circle of stones, but you have to reserve it months or years in advance and pay a hefty price for it.

The closest village or town to Stonehenge is Salisbury, which seems to have a couple claims to fame. First is the HUGE cathedral (seat of a bishop or archbishop), but the second is much more exciting, at least to me.
