Six outbound departures daily from Salisbury. Multiple return options from Stonehenge.
Pickup point: Caboose, 115 South Western Road, Salisbury SP2 7RR, directly opposite Salisbury Train Station. 2-minute walk from the station exit. Return pickup is from the Stonehenge Visitor Centre car park.
When you arrive at Caboose, you will find a small, relaxed local business rather than a busy bus terminal. Give your name at the counter and show your booking confirmation. If you have luggage, the team will take it through to the storage room, labelled and locked away until you return.
Your coffee is made fresh to order. Caboose is a proper bed and breakfast with a working kitchen, so this is a real barista coffee, not a vending machine cup. If you have dietary requirements, let them know and they will sort it. Arrive 15 minutes before your departure to make sure you have time to enjoy it.
The Salisbury to Stonehenge shuttle itself is a comfortable private minibus. Maximum 12 passengers, all seats reserved, so there is no queuing, no standing and no uncertainty about whether you will get on. The journey takes 35 minutes through the Wiltshire countryside, travelling south along the A345 before arriving directly at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre car park.
When you arrive at Stonehenge, your driver will confirm your return pickup time and the collection point. The return shuttle picks you up from the same Visitor Centre car park. Stonehenge entry tickets are separate and must be booked with English Heritage before your visit.
On the return journey, the shuttle drops you back at Caboose. Collect your luggage, and Salisbury Train Station is a 2-minute walk across the zebra crossing. If you want to spend time in Salisbury after Stonehenge, your bags can stay at Caboose until closing time.
The shuttle works particularly well for visitors arriving into Salisbury by train who want a direct, no-stress route to Stonehenge and back.
You are 2 minutes from the shuttle when you step off the train. No car hire, no taxi queue, no navigating unfamiliar roads. The Salisbury to Stonehenge shuttle was designed specifically for people arriving by rail.
Travelling with suitcases, a pushchair or sports equipment? Store everything at Caboose and visit Stonehenge hands free. The shuttle has space for all luggage and no restrictions on what you bring.
At £15 return per person, the shuttle is the most cost-effective option if you are not part of a group. Cheaper than a taxi, smaller and friendlier than the tour bus, with a reserved seat guaranteed.
Up to 12 passengers per departure. If your group is large, book early as departures fill up quickly in summer. Groups travelling together can request the same departure and adjacent seats.
The shuttle is a private vehicle, not a step-on double decker. If you have mobility requirements or travel with a wheelchair, contact us before booking so we can confirm the best arrangement for you.
The 10:05 departure gets you to Stonehenge before the mid-morning peak. Late afternoon, the 14:05 or 15:05 shuttle offers golden light and fewer crowds. Choose your departure based on when you want the light.
