Exciting trip news!
There is one thing I have been waiting for the chance to book and I finally got the email last week and today I got it booked!
We will be seeing Stonehenge on the day we wanted to toward the beginning of the trip but we will be going on a special access tour.
That means we get in early in the morning before it opens and actually get to go up into the circle like you used to be able to do.
They keep the tours open to only about 30 people.
And it didn't cost much more than the regular admission.
I got it right through the English heritage website. I heard about it a while ago but couldn't find anything on their website about it. So I emailed them and asked.
They sent me a reply saying they wouldn't have times open for our dates until November and they would get back to me.
And they did.
We have a 6:45 AM time. I was hoping for an 8am but I am so happy that I don't really care! We can also enter during regular hours if we want for no extra cost although we probably will just head out on the road after our tour.
I am so excited to be able to get a jump on our day (we have a lot of driving that day) and to be able to get up close to the stones!
