Amesbury Travel Blogs

Rather than driving to Stonehenge, we decided to take a train.  So, we rode from the city to Salisbury, which took about 1.5 hours and was quite relaxing.  Once we got to Salisbury, we got on a bus that took us to Amesbury (Stonehenge is just outside Amesbury).  We were so …

For the second time being in the area of Salisbury, we chose that time to see Stonehenge. Actually, Stonehenge is not in Salisbury as many brochure say, it is in Amesbury (just a bit further). You can see them from the road, just passing by it, but I preferred to stop to admire them and take some p…

As we arrived I was shocked to see the stones, a bit suddenly, as we crested a hill.  Once inside, Stonehenge was a little spooky with the slight wind and rain and towering stones formed unnaturally.  I was surprised to learn from the travel guide reading there are other more impressive …

Yes Stonhenge is amazing, a must when you come to England. The Salisbury cathedral and apple cake at the market were both highlights of the trip for me.

I took a trip to Stonehenge during a recent business trip. It's a nice place with an interesting history.

For the last day of our adventures while she was in London, Aysha and I took a planned tour thing-y to Stonehenge and Bath. We left super early in the morning and took a beautiful bus ride out to Wiltshire. It was a typical cloudy day in England, which added to the supposed allure of the place.…

... was in a word, disappointing to me.  It felt way too touristy.  The weather was horrible that day, and the magesty of the place was destroyed by the small concession stand and the impersonal design of the walkways around it.  While the stones, and their history are facinating, it…
