The Stonehenge Visitor Centre features exhibits, Neolithic artifacts, interactive displays, a café, a gift shop, and reconstructed houses showcasing ancient life

Stonehenge Exhibition

The Stonehenge Exhibition Hall offers an immersive journey into the history, construction, and significance of Stonehenge.

We’ll begin with a short audio-visual presentation, followed by time to explore the exhibits. After that, we’ll head outside to the Neolithic houses to learn about cooking in the past. Finally, we’ll take the shuttle bus to the stone circle itself

Exhibit 101 - Building Stonehenge

This case contains objects that have been excavated at Stonehenge. At the top are some deer antlers that were used as picks to dig the large circular ditch that surrounds Stonehenge

Stay for 5 minutes

Exhibit 102 - Durrington Walls

Much of what we know about the people who built Stonehenge comes from the site of Durrington Walls, about three kilometres or two miles away

Stay for 5 minutes

Exhibit 103 - Long Barrow Burial

You’re looking at the skeleton of a man who was buried not far from here, about a thousand years before the stones were raised at Stonehenge

Stay for 5 minutes

Exhibit 104 - Early Bronze Age Burial

Building work at Stonehenge had ended by about 2200 BC, in the early Bronze Age. From this date on, for about 500 or 600 years, people buried their dead under mounds in the surrounding landscape

Stay for 5 minutes

Exhibit 105 - Timeline & Models

Stonehenge wasn’t constructed all at once. People built, altered and rearranged the monument over a thousand years

Stay for 5 minutes

Neolithic houses

The Neolithic Houses at Stonehenge offer a glimpse into the lives of those who built the monument, letting visitors step inside and experience everyday life from that era

Stay for 10 minutes

Shuttle bus to the henge

Leaves from outside the gift shop

Stonehenge 1 - Start of audio tour

Welcome to Stonehenge, a unique prehistoric temple aligned with the sun. Built between 3000 and 2200 BC, it’s the only stone circle with lintels atop its uprights

Stonehenge 2 - Earthwork Enclosure

Together, this bank and ditch form an early type of henge. This is a term, from the name of Stonehenge, used by archaeologists to describe a circular earthwork monument, surrounded by a bank and ditch

Stonehenge 3 - The Heel Stone and the Avenue

The large leaning stone near the path is the Heel Stone, a natural, unshaped sarsen unlike the shaped stones in the circle

Stonehenge 4 - The Stones

What makes Stonehenge unique is the arrangement of its stones and the fact that they were brought from long distances

Stonehenge 5 - View of the Barrows

If you turn away from Stonehenge and look out into the landscape in almost any direction, you’ll see lots of grass covered mounds. These are round barrows

Stonehenge 6 - The ‘Back View’

Stonehenge is a circular monument, so it may surprise you to hear that you’re looking at the ‘back’

Stonehenge 7 - Aubrey Holes

You should see a marker set into the path, and two more in the grass on either side. These show the position of three holes, dug about 5,000 years ago

Stonehenge 8 - Conservation and Restoration

When we look at Stonehenge today, we’re seeing it as a ruin, altered by more than 4,000 years of weathering, erosion and decay
