Solo Travel from Salisbury to Stonehenge: Tips & Guide

Stonehenge is one of Britain's great solo travel experiences a chance to stand among the stones and think your own thoughts without a tour group commentary. Here's how to make the most of it as a solo visitor from Salisbury.

Getting There

The Salisbury to Stonehenge Shuttle is ideal for solo travellers. At £15 return per person you get the same all inclusive deal as everyone else guaranteed seat, free luggage storage, and a return pick-up from Stonehenge at your chosen time. No need to find someone to split a taxi with.

The Best Departure for Solo Visitors

The 10:15 departure is the earliest and tends to have the thinnest crowds at Stonehenge on arrival. If you prefer a quieter experience at the monument, go early. The 10:40 arrival at Stonehenge (before the main tour bus rush) is the quietest window of the day.

Luggage

If you're travelling with a bag, the luggage storage free (for shuttle passengers) at Caboose is genuinely useful as a solo traveller carrying a rucksack around Stonehenge in the wind is not much fun. Leave your bag, collect it on your return.
