It's a little over a mile from the visitor center to the stones. There's a shuttle bus, but I opted to walk across the fields with the archaeologist who was leading the group. The land is so flat the Dakotas would be envious, and we didn't pass that many people on the path—unlike at the monument, which was of course very crowded. Lots of sheep though.
It was fun to imagine how the people approaching Stonehenge thousands of years ago would have seen a landscape not that different from the one we were walking through, and how amazing that first glimpse of the stones in the distance must have seemed to them. I mean, I knew it was coming and it was still a thrill.
