Drove to Woodhenge (a lot less impressive, but cool and you actually get to walk around the henge itself) then took a 40 minute stroll through some fields to get to a public footpath that was about a metre away from the paid stonehenge footpath.
Was really nice, we sat down, had some snacks and admired the henge.
Then later on our trip we passed through Avebury which is essentially a village surrounded by a henge. Massive rocks that you can touch, sit on, whatever.
Few tips for any stonehenge tourists! There’s a lot of history in that area.
Woodhenge is a bit underwhelming (a few wood stumps in a pattern) but as it’s a good starting point to the free path, it’s a nice landmark to check off!
We went here a couple years back.

Ps hadn’t heard of woodhenge before and also didn’t know of the public foot path. So cool!
