You do not need a car to visit Stonehenge from Salisbury. In fact, going without a car is easier, cheaper and less stressful. Here is everything you need to know.
Driving to Stonehenge means dealing with limited parking that must be pre-booked, paying £18 for the car park, and navigating the A303 which can be very slow in summer. The Stonehenge car park is also not next to the stones themselves. You still have to take a shuttle bus or walk 1.5 miles once you arrive.
Without a car from Salisbury, you simply walk two minutes from the station to Caboose, board the shuttle, and arrive at Stonehenge 35 minutes later. No parking stress. No traffic. No paying for a car park on top of everything else.
Departs from Caboose, 115 South Western Road, 2 minutes from Salisbury station. £15 return per person. Coffee and luggage storage included. Six departures daily. Book online.
Departs from outside Salisbury station. £22 to £25 return. Hop-on hop-off, also stops at Old Sarum. Larger vehicle, no reserved seats. Available year round.
From the rank at Salisbury station. £30 to £40 each way. Fastest option but expensive for solo travellers. Return taxi must be pre-booked or called from Stonehenge.
Yes. Two services run from Salisbury directly to Stonehenge: our private shuttle (£15 return) and the Stonehenge Tour public bus (£22 to £25 return). Both travel to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre.
There is no train to Stonehenge itself. The closest mainline station is Salisbury, which is 9.5 miles away. From Salisbury station you take either our shuttle or the Stonehenge Tour bus to reach the monument.
For our shuttle yes, as seats are limited to 12 per departure. For the Stonehenge Tour, advance booking is recommended in summer. Taxis can usually be found at the Salisbury station rank but a return taxi should always be pre-booked.
