All ages

In the King's House, a medieval house in the cathedral close, opposite the west front. Its jewel is the Wessex archaeology gallery, with finds from around Stonehenge, and it is the perfect companion if you are going to the stones: it helps you understand who raised them. There are also paintings, costumes and a café. It opens every day from 10:00 to 17:00 and there is no need to book.
