For centuries, the mystery and magnificence of Stonehenge<\/a> has drawn visitors from across the globe, with over a million people making the journey each year. With so many Stonehenge tours from London<\/a><\/strong> available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located on Salisbury Plain and just a stone\u2019s throw (ha!) from the historic city of Oxford, the royal town of Windsor, and the ancient Roman city of Bath, Stonehenge is perfectly placed to be combined with an unforgettable day tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Stonehenge Is One of the Most Popular Day Trips from London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iconic Neolithic monument and UNESCO World Heritage site has stood on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire for over 5,000 years and features stones that were somehow transported all the way from South Wales (with an average weight of 25 tons!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is it a mystery how the stones were assembled<\/a>, but also why Stonehenge was built<\/a> at all. It remains unclear whether their purpose was religious or ceremonial<\/a>, who put them there<\/a>, or what their connection is to the cycle of the seasons and the sun\u2019s position at the equinox. The mysteries of Stonehenge<\/a> have captivated scholars and archaeologists for thousands of years, with the monument dating back to approximately 3,000 BCE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also hosts a wealth of knowledge in its visitor centre, including over 250 objects on display – from pottery to jewellery, and even ancient human remains – and a chance to catch displays of ancient domestic skills such as rope making, flint knapping, and grinding grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
