Stonehenge deserves more than a rushed visit. Stay at Farthing Corner - a 15th-century thatched cottage B&B just 20 miles from the stones - and experience the monument at sunrise or sunset, when the crowds thin and the magic intensifies.
Getting to Stonehenge
30 minutes by car
Easy drive via the A303. The visitor centre has a large car park and shuttle to the stones.
Insider tip: Book ahead
Stonehenge sunrise and sunset experiences sell out weeks in advance. Book at english-heritage.org.uk - these special access visits let you walk among the stones themselves.
Make it a weekend
With Farthing Corner as your base, you can explore the entire prehistoric landscape - not just Stonehenge itself, but the wider ceremonial landscape that surrounds it.

Why stay at Farthing Corner?
After contemplating 5,000-year-old stones, return to a house that's been welcoming travellers since the 1400s. There's something fitting about staying somewhere with its own deep history.
