Whirlwind Visit to Stonehenge

When I say whirlwind visit, I mean whirlwind!  We dropped the kids off at school and hit the road for a 2 hour drive to Stonehenge and had to be back to pick up the kids by 3 pm.

By the time we arrived we only had an hour and a half.  It was enough time to get out to the stones from the visitor center, which takes you by shuttle, but not enough to have a good wander through the gift shop or see the exhibition.  I plan on taking the family on our next break for a longer stay.

An audio guide comes with your ticket.  I don't have much patience to listen to those things though.

I'd rather wander and take photos and either know the info before coming or look it up after.  We saw a great documentary on Stonehenge recently that was really fascinating and educational.

Stonehenge is managed by the English Heritage.  As a member you can enter for free.  Since the grounds are maintained by National Trust, their members, which I am, can also enter for free.  Score!  Tickets are currently £13.90 per adult if you do not hold a membership to one of these organizations.

Ever been to Stonehenge or like to go some day?  I recommend giving it more than an hour and a half though!  Hee hee!
