You do not need a ticket to have a good look at it! Take the path on the right just after the main gate and bring some lunch for looking at the mighty stones and the many tourists.

A television series that I can wholeheartedly recommend presents the culture-loving viewer (in German) with remarkable examples of human activity from many countries around the world. What they all have in common is that they have been given "World Heritage" status by UNESCO. One of the contributions documents the ancient and still mysterious stone circle of Stonehenge.
The accompanying documentary states: "The Salisbury Plateau in southern England is a rough and uninviting area, where a cold and cutting wind often blows. Around 5,000 years ago, in the Neolithic period, people lived here, about whom we know very little. But what they and subsequent generations left behind is impressive beyond measure: the stone circles and burial mounds of the megalithic culture."

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain, believed to have been constructed between 3000BCE and 2000BCE. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones topped by connecting horizontal lintels, with an inner ring of smaller bluestones and other standing stones. The monument is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice, making it a popular destination for those wanting to watch the sunrise on the longest day.
