Stonehenge sits on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, a prehistoric stone circle and World Heritage Site that makes a perfect full‑ or half‑day trip with Tom Chauffeurs from Alton and the wider Hampshire area. The monument is set within a wider ancient landscape of burial mounds and earthworks, with a dedicated visitor centre offering exhibitions, Neolithic house reconstructions, a café and gift shop, plus shuttle buses and walking paths out to the stones.

From a chauffeur point of view, the journey from Alton runs mainly via the A303 or A30 and takes around 1.5 hours depending on traffic, with drop‑off at the main Stonehenge visitor car park and a pre‑booked pickup time once you have finished exploring. Many visitors combine Stonehenge with nearby Salisbury, a historic city around 20–25 minutes’ drive to the south, giving you time for lunch, a stroll through the medieval streets and a look at the riverside meadows by the Cathedral Close.

Salisbury Cathedral itself is a highlight: a magnificent early‑English Gothic building with the tallest church spire in Britain and one of the best‑preserved copies of Magna Carta housed in its Chapter House. With Tom Chauffeurs handling all route planning, timings and parking between Stonehenge and Salisbury, you can fit both sites comfortably into one relaxed itinerary, enjoying the Wiltshire countryside from the comfort of an executive car rather than juggling public transport or multiple car loads
