Best time to visit Stonehenge
The best time to visit Stonehenge depends on your preferences. Summer (June to August) offers mild weather and long days, but it is also the busiest period, with larger crowds.
For a quieter experience, spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October) are ideal, with pleasant weather and fewer visitors. Winter (November to February) is less busy and can be atmospheric, especially at sunrise or sunset, though days are shorter and the site is closed on Christmas Day.
