Stonehenge is the most architecturally sophisticated prehistoric stone circle in the world. It is unrivalled in its design and unique engineering, featuring huge horizontal stone lintels capping the outer circle and the trilithons, locked together by carefully shaped joints.

Yes, indeed. You don't really think they'd let the world famous monument, standing out in the middle of nowhere, be the target of vandals, drunks and general numpties after dark, do you? Oh, yes, there is day security too but during the day the monument is monitored by EH staff who stand out there in all weathers.

English Heritage, which manages Stonehenge, says it was lit up at night for a period in the 1970s and early 1980s but that was stopped due to an increase in road accidents caused by cars and lorries slowing down to have a look.

You cannot touch the stones at Stonehenge, they are roped off to protect the stones and prevent the ancient site from being trampled. No person may touch, lean against, stand on or climb the stones, or disturb the ground in any way. Stonehenge is protected under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.

Something famous occurred at Stonehenge over two centuries ago which we might call the Great Fall. Three of the largest megaliths – a complete trilithon – collapsed, the first time any such event was recorded, and one of only three occasions on which stones are known to have fallen at the site in modern times.

The best time of day to visit Stonehenge is before 9.30am in the morning and in the afternoon after 4pm in the summer or 2pm in the winter. The number of visitors to Stonehenge various enormously depending on the time of day.

There are two ways to see the Stonehenge Inner Circle: a special inner circle tour or applying for tickets through the English Heritage website. Tickets allow for special access to the inner circle, allowing you to get up close to the stones.

Visiting the iconic Stonehenge monument will take you around 40 minutes to 1 hour. But if you want to get more out of your experience, the tour of Stonehenge can take about 2 hours. Make the most out of your visit and purchase a full ticket that allows you to explore the exhibitions in the Visitor Center.

To get to Stonehenge, you can either walk the 1.5 miles or take a shuttle and by arriving early, we didn't have to wait in a line of hundreds of people to snag a seat on the shuttle. By getting to Stonehenge early, you'll also have the opportunity to take better pictures without too many people in the background.

An inner circle experience really is the best way to see Stonehenge and really appreciate it. We were there before it opened to the public - it was very peaceful viewing the stones up close with no crowds.
