I've been periodically traveling to England for nearly fifty years but never saw Stonehenge until this summer. Wish I hadn't waited so long because if I had made the trip earlier (before 1977), I might have been able to walk among the stones and actually touch them. The closest you can get now is a few yards. They are still fascinating nonetheless and as you make your way around them on the designated path, you still cannot help but wonder about the prehistoric people who put them there and why they were put there. Although you can reach Stonehenge by train and motor coach from nearby Salisbury, if you can get someone to drive you there by car (as I did), it's quicker. We had no trouble finding a parking spot (we went on a weekday so I can't vouch for weekends). The on-site museum is excellent. The gift shop has a good variety of items in all price ranges. There's a shuttle bus that takes you from the visitors center to the stones but you can walk if you want and however you get there, once you arrive at the stone circle you can take as little or as much time as you want to look at them and take photos. My only complaint is the £15.50 admission fee, which I thought was a little high for this particular attraction, although if you are a senior, you can get a "concession" ticket for £13.90. One word of advice: Read up on the site or watch a documentary film prior to arrival so you have a better idea and a better appreciation of what it is you are seeing.
