Return Bus Times from Stonehenge
Return pick-up times from the Stonehenge Visitor Centre car park are chosen when you book. Available slots run from 12:40 onwards through the afternoon. You choose a specific return time — the driver waits for you at the car park at that time. You are not waiting for a scheduled bus.
Which Bus Time Should I Take?
10:15 — the best departure. Arriving at 10:40 puts you at Stonehenge before the main wave of coach tours that arrive between 11:00 and 13:00. The stones are quietest before 11:00. The 10:15 sells out first in summer.

14:15 or 15:15 — best for photographers. In summer, the afternoon light on the stones is beautiful. From 14:30 onwards, many of the day-trip coach groups have departed, leaving the monument quieter again. The 15:15 bus is ideal for a golden hour visit when Stonehenge is open until 20:00.
Matching Your Bus Time to Your Stonehenge Entry Ticket
Add 35 minutes to your bus departure time — this is when you will arrive at Stonehenge. Book your English Heritage timed entry slot for that time or the next available slot. Example: 10:15 bus arrives 10:40 — book a 10:30 or 11:00 entry slot at english-heritage.org.uk.
