Stopping off enroute to Stonehenge, had an early morning family visit to the Durrington Walls Henge, part of the greater Stonehenge landscape.
Free parking between the henge and Woodhenge, with free entry.
Virtually no-one else around on the bank holiday weekend - well it was 9am on a Sunday!
Lots to explore, with lots of information on the boards.
Well worth a visit and early morning stroll.

A visit to Durrington Walls is a must-have as part of a tour to Stonehenge and the surrounding landscapes. It's a little-known that this was not just the labourer's camp for those constructing the stone circle, but an important place for prehistoric worship in it's own right. Granted, there's not a whole lot to see, but once you've done some further reading, the bigger picture becomes much clearer.

2 miles away from Stonehenge former neolithic settlement just north of Amesbury. 4, 500 years old use the walking trail to explore it but side step the sheep poop as it is a grazing area.

If you want to stare at grass and cattle for 44 minutes then do it for free rather than pay for a tour .
Google before or while your there to save bordom and you can see what it would have looked like .
Interesting yes , worth paying for it no

In reality this is a depression that would offer some shelter to those who lived here. One idea is the builders of Stonehenge probably lived here. What's left today whilst interesting, requires a large amount of imagination to get a feel for the place.
Pair the place up with a trip to the Cuckoo Stone, and Woodhenge, and you can probably pass an hour or two. Parking is free, but there's no facilities here. Use the side of the road to wander and see the area. It's a lovely spot for a picnic.

This is located on a hill so can look down at England's countryside which is beautiful. It has the Woodhenge located here which is the Stonehenge's lesser cousin. I think it's interesting how the pillars looks but it's only a attraction if you are into archaeology or geography. However, this is a nice pit stop on your way to the Stonehenge.

I have just rated Wood Henge which is close by, and I would make the same observations about the Wallls. I have read quite a lot about the ancient people who established a settlement and henges in the area a can picture the scene that would have been prevalent. However, I have taken friends to the site and they regarded it as unremarkable.

After enduring the crowds, gift shop, and commercialism of Stonehenge we decided to visit Woodhenge and Durrington Walls. We parked immediately next to Woodhenge in a small three-car parking area. We were the only car there on a beautiful summer morning. There is no admission charge.
You can simply walk throughout the Woodhenge area and then walk toward Durrington Walls from there. We spent almost an hour, and during that time there was only one other visitor. You are up on the side of a hill and had a nice view of the valley beneath you.
The combination of Woodhenge and Durrington Walls was a nice contrast to Stonehenge. You can get up close and personal to the site here, compared to being fenced off from the Stonehenge attraction. Although the wood posts are obviously modern reconstructions, seeing these ancient sites was a great complement that gives you a bit more insight into what is going on at Stonehenge.

While visiting Woodhenge spare a fee minutes for a walk around Durrington Walls and imagine life from a long time ago, well worth a stroll
