If you want to travel to Stonehenge from London, you take a 90-minute direct train from Waterloo to Salisbury (the closest city to Stonehenge). Salisbury is located 8 miles south of Stonehenge. To be honest, it has a picturesque side. So you might take some more snaps and add them to your gallery.
*Salisbury Cathedral:* The biggest attraction of Salisbury was built in the 13th century. It took 38 years to build and still stands as Britain’s tallest spire, rising to an impressive 400 feet. You can visit inside, and once you step inside, you will be treated to its majesty. Inside, you will see the world’s oldest working mechanical clock, made in 1386. There is an important artifact: the Magna Carta. There are only 4 surviving Magna Cartas in the world, and it is one of them. After visiting Salisbury Cathedral, you have to get the bus from the center of the city, which will drop you straight at your destination, Stonehenge.
*STONEHENGE:* It’s a magical place where you will wonder how this was made 4,500 years ago. Some stones weighing 25 tonnes were transported up to 150 miles to where they stand today. The larger stones, known as Sarsons, are 7 meters in height. It also seems to be a place of ritual and sanctuary. Human bones of around 150 people were buried here, and apparently, one of them was Liam Neeson. Once you leave the stones, you exit through the gift shop, returning back to the visitors center. The shop has a bit of a Jurassic vibe. It’s fairly small in size—enough for tickets and sales, a café, and an accompanying exhibition, which is definitely worth a look. The 360-degree cinema room is probably the closest experience to being in the middle of Stonehenge. Here my trip ends. See you in the next vlog
*BONUS TIP:* The cheapest way to go to Stonehenge is public transport. It’s a direct 90-minute return train, which costs €42 from London Waterloo to Salisbury. You can buy tickets from the station itself, but it will be a bit more expensive. I would prefer to buy the tickets online, which will cost you less.
