About Stonehenge, can you actually walk into it anymore? I had the impression they roped it off because of vandalism.
yes roped off virtually perm now. Not like wen we did pencil rubbings on the stones as kids!!
If you park up at night and stop in the road and get out - it is unnaturally but calmingly quiet n still.
I think out of everywhere I've visited, Stonehenge was the biggest let-down. I went there a few years ago for he first time, thinking it's about time I went to see the site but found it distinctly underwhelming - not helped by being unable to get up close.

A henge is correctly an earthwork enclosed by a ditch, they don't all have stone circles. But there are a great many stone circles across the UK. Stonehenge is by far the most impressive really.
Over in Ireland there's the huge Newgrange complex which sees a lot of tourists who can go down inside, but that's not on your route.

Things we plan to do in London (in no particular order):
1) Bus Tour when we first get there
2) Victoria and Albert Museum
3) Fortnum & Mason
4) See a show
5) See a play at Shakespeare's Globe
6) Big Ben & Parliament Buildings (walk-by)
7) Changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace
8) Westminster Abbey
9) Churchill War Rooms
10) London Eye
11) Tower of London
12) HMS Belfast
13) Evensong at St Paul's Cathedral
14) Twinning Museum
15) Covent Garden shopping
And in the afternoon?
Oh yes, you're taking four days in London, ok.
As well as the bus tour, you can go on the river, which I think DMD enjoyed when we travelled from near the West End down to Tower Bridge a few years ago. And do have a pint at The Punch & Judy at Covent Garden.
And finally, there's about ten miles of good roads in the whole of Wales. In my experience of holidaying near Snowdonia every year since 2006, add 30-50% to any published journey time!
Good for you, by the way, for not only sticking to London. The rest of the UK has considerable amounts to offer.
If we had one more week, we would do Devon/Cornwall area.
