All ages who can manage a day in a minibus

Stonehenge is a good hour from Bath by road, on Salisbury Plain, and getting there independently without a car is complicated. The practical way is a day trip by minibus: Mad Max Tours leaves Bath every day with small groups and combines Stonehenge with Avebury, a larger stone circle where you walk among the standing stones, and two Cotswold villages, Castle Combe and Lacock, the latter a filming location for Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. It costs from £65 per person; when booking, check whether it includes entry to Stonehenge.

If you go independently by car, buy the English Heritage ticket online before midnight the day before: it is cheaper and valid all day. A shuttle runs from the visitor centre to the stones.
