There is no access to the inner circle at Stonehenge on one of our special access Summer solstice at Stonehenge image. tours between the 17th and 23rd March inclusive because of the Spring Equinox at Stonehenge. There is,however, free access on the morning of the 20th March to watch the Stonehenge spring equinox sunrise sunrise which happens about 6.09am.

As in previous years, there are Conditions of Entry to the Spring Equiox at Stonehenge including a ban on alcohol & drugs as well as a prohibition on standing or touching the stones. Expect several hundred plus people there with you, but is no where near as crowded as it is at the Summer solstice and probably more enjoyable.

Parking is very, very limited in the area and car sharing or using alternative menas of transport is far easier.

Stonehenge itself is open from approx 5.45 am through to around 8.30 am though the site owners have not published the actual times yet.
