We then travelled on down to Woodhenge and Stonehenge. Normally I wouldn't pay for entry to Stonehenge (£5.50) but my friend paid so I went along with him! There is something about not having a wiremesh fence obstructing your view and you get more of an idea of how the henge stands in the landscape. A free audio tour is provided which talks you around the site and tells you what you can see and what it means.
After all this we turned eastwards and back to London having had a rather good day despite the damp conditions.

Are they still charging for parking at Stonehenge?
I haven't walked around the stones since the days when you could do so freely (before 'they' discovered that the monument could be another money-spinner), but a year or two ago I was going to stop off and take some photos through the wire until I saw a sign at the entrance to the car park charging some extortionate amount of money just to park there.

Parking at Stonehenge was free AFAICT. The audio guide was free. The toilets were free. Admission price (including all that) was £5.50. AIUI people have been charging entrance fees to Stonehenge since the 1920s. Be thankful that the blacksmith in Amesbury is no longer around to hire out hammers for you to break off your own lump of Stonehenge to take home...
