STONEHENGE REVIEWS
What an amazing place! I did this trip with a tour guide and it made it that much better. Such an incredible thing that was created here. Worth it to go see and if you are in a rush, take the shuttle there and back to save yourself about an hour. Once you get to the stones it won’t take long to look around and walk the perimeter of the stones.
Finally. Bucket list spot finally checked off. Old. Mysterious. Beautiful. Spiritual. Loved it here. Lots of people though. Literally hundreds. Had to strategically line up my photo takes. Crazy long walk to get here from the parking lot area/cafe/gift shop.
One of Britain's most historic sites. Well presented and preserved by English History. A must-see location as a member, as it's free and super quick to enter this way.

OLD SARUM REVIEWS
An astonishing find steeped in history going back thousands of years, with various people using the site for different things. The enthusiasm of the English Heritage lady there was infectious, and made it even more enjoyable. The views of the surrounding countryside and over Salisbury are incredible, and I'm glad we decided to drop in to see what was there. Thoroughly recommend a visit to see history and great views.
I had driven past this place for years and never entered. I always assumed it was just a grassy hill. But no! It has substantial ruins of a Norman castle where William the Conqueror gathered his troops. There was also a fantastic Knights tournament when we were there, put on by English Heritage. Kids loved it.
Nice peaceful place, friendly staff, no wait, not too busy. Kind of place you can go to clear your head with amazing views of Salisbury. Nice place for little evening walks and meditation.

Wilton House is a family residence and has held that role for more than 450 years. Throughout its rich history, the house has been closely associated with England's political and artistic circles, concurrently providing employment and homes for estate workers. Ongoing restoration projects focus on the house and its grounds, with a particular emphasis on the interiors of the staterooms. Visitors often remark on the House's friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Lord and Lady Pembroke extend their warm wishes for a delightful visit and a splendid day out. Additionally, a cafe shop is on the premises for guests' convenience.

WILTON HOUSE REVIEWS
Rather expensive to get in to enter the house and gardens. Nearby didn't go in. But very glad we did. Amazing house (although you're not allowed to take photos inside) and amazing gardens with children's adventure playground.
What a great place for kids to burn off their energy. The grandchildren enjoyed the Easter egg hunt and the bouncy castle. The adventure style playground was brilliant and the grounds are expansive.
Incredible space for picnics with young children! We visited Wilton House gardens over the jubilee bank holiday for a picnic and to let our kids burn off some excess energy.
