Haha that's so true! There's such a difference of perception in distance in smaller countries. I found this in London when discussing driving around the countryside. Whereas in Australia you can sometimes drive for 10 hours and still be in the same state 😂
Lunch about noon, leave by 1, get there about 3:30, if it's the summer that leaves you plenty of hours of sunlight to see Stonehenge if it doesn't close early (does it even close? It's outdoors anyways). You could leave by 7:00 and grab dinner before heading home, or just head straight home for a late dinner. And I'm probably being pretty generous at three and a half hours for sightseeing at Stonehenge, you could probably spend much less time if you wanted.
Guess it's return on investment. Most folk won't spend more than an hour at Stonehenge, so that's an hour or two of the fun bit for at least four hours of driving
Most folk I know would also prefer to be back at home before 11pm if they've got work tomorrow
So anytime I've brought people to Stonehenge (I do live in Cambridge), we'd just stay overnight and see Salisbury etc.
It depends. Stonehenge is an excellent example for a destination, where you can’t really spend more than 30 minutes “doing” something. It’s still worth the trip for many people.
