Our handwritten guide on Backpacking Stonehenge
Stonehenge, England, is a famous temple of stones arranged in a circular formation in line with the solstices. It is approximately four thousand five hundred years old and built by the Neolithic people that lived in the area during that time. While people do not exactly know what the purpose of the rock formations was when it was built, it is a very cool thing to see during your time in England. There is a museum with some of the history and artifacts of the Neolithic people just off the Visitor's Centre, a café, and also an outdoor area with some huts and examples of how they would have used the stones.
If you are wanting to stay out within close proximity to Stonehenge you have a few options in the nearby surrounds for a Stonehenge, England hostel. You can get to the Salisbury area from London on a National Express bus, but you need to book in advance if you don't want to end up paying loads of money for your bus fare. In the town of Salisbury itself there is a museum and the Old Sarum. From the town of Salisbury, you can take a bus for a fee to the stunning Stonehenge so that you can explore these ancient ruins. Otherwise you will have to take a taxi. If you aren't able to get accommodation in these Stonehenge, England hostels, there are options to take a day tour from London to explore the area. They can be expensive but if you get on to Groupon London, you may be able to find a cheaper, half-price deal.
If you have the time and potentially a car, there is more than just the famous circle of rocks at Stonehenge to explore within the area. You can visit the small and quaint town with ever friendly locals at Amesbury and stop in to get a pub meal lunch. Buses head into here from London as well, and it is a nice country walk along the highway for an hour or so to get to the Visitor's Centre of Stonehenge. There is also the Wiltshire Museum up towards Devizes and the Farleigh Hungerford Castle. If you have even more time around the area, the English Heritage Society brochure from Stonehenge also suggests checking out the Sherborne Old Castle, Muchelney Abbey and Cleeve Abbey, and the Old Wardour Castle.
