You should still be able to walk from Woodhenge. Brilliant information. My daughter, son in law,2 grandchildren, my wife and disabled old me are planning on going in the next week or so, it will cost a small fortune for us all to pay. I am I right in understanding you can pay to park at the visitors centre and walk to the monuments for free? Thanks, David! Hello Bo! Sorry for the late reply. You might run into some photographers, but most tourists are long gone before the sun dips down.
Thank you soooo much for this article, you saved me 40 pounds! And nothing makes your weekend better than saving 40 pounds! Thank you so much for the information!
We want to get to the site in Christmas, because in London everything is closed on this day we will be coming from abroad. Do you think we can get there on foot on this day too?
Good question, Dan! You could try emailing English Heritage to ask if the public access gates will remain open for people visiting on foot.

Where is Stonehenge? An introduction to visiting Stonehenge - full details. During normal opening hours you cannot walk up to the stones themselves. The nearest you will get to the stones is about 10 yards, the monument being roped off by a low barrier see picture below. However it is possible to walk up to and among the stones at Stonehenge outside public opening hours. These are called Special Access visits. During these sessions of one hour duration, only 26 people are allowed onto Stonehenge going beyond the barriers and walking amongst the stones.
The fact that these Stonehenge Special Access visits are outside public opening hours mean that they are at dawn or evening. Given that Stonehenge is two hours' drive from London this obviously provides logistical issues in getting there. The Special Access Visits are also immensely popular, demand far outstrips supply and they are often sold out months in advance. We have dedicated pages for people independently wanting to partake in a Stonehenge Special Access Visit and also pages on the various London based companies such as Premium Tours that offer Stonehenge Special Access Tours from London.
