Visitor centre located one and a half miles from the stone circle, that contains a gallery, café, shop, dedicated education space

The small building is organised simply with two rectangular pods placed on either side of a broad entrance passage containing a zinc ticket booth, all sheltered under a lightweight steel canopy.

A cafe, gift shop and the education centre are grouped in the largely glazed pod. The other pod, which is clad with sweet chestnut, contains toilets and the interpretation centre with a display 360-degree virtual experience will let visitors ‘stand in the stones’.

The centre is located a mile and a half from Stonehenge, which can be reached by walking for 20 minutes or in a land train.
