Salisbury is located in the
South of England and is well served by road
and rail links to all parts of the country. We can offer you
assistance in getting here by whatever means of transport
you prefer.
By Air or Sea
We can arrange to meet your flight or ship and take you
directly to your hotel in our
comfortable air-conditioned
Chrysler Voyager.
If you wish to make your own way by public transport you
may like to check times and book online at Trainline
There is a National Express direct coach from Heathrow
Airport to Salisbury 3 time a day, but the journey is long, slow, and very tedious. In the UK most longer jourmeys are done by train which is a much more pleasant and reliable way to travel. There is a bus service to the nearest railway station - Woking - and services run every half hour or so.

By Car
If you are hiring a car, most hotels have car parking but it is
sometimes restricted. There are several car parks in the
city and we can send you details. If you would like to hire
a car in London, we have partnered with Hertz - simply click
on the Hertz banner.
Salisbury has a number of
well signposted car parks, however it is a busy city and it can occasionally be
frustrating finding a space. Please be aware that the car
parks all require payment and you should not park in the
city, in any circumstances, without buying a ticket.
Salisbury has Parking Ambassadors (yes, they really are
called that) who will issue you with a ticket for failing to
pay the correct parking charge.
If you are travelling to
Salisbury by car on a day trip, try using the Park and Ride
service. There are 4 parking areas on the edge of the city,
all of which are well signposted and
can be found
marked on this map. Parking costs £2.00 for all day
and
this fee also provides tickets for up to 6 passengers to
ride in to the city and back on the bus. Buses run every
10-20 minutes depending on the time of day and it is
sometimes quicker as they have some priority bus lanes to by
pass jams.
A number of
our overseas visitors ask the meaning of many of our road
signs. While we're happy to explain we feel that you may
wish to acclimatise yourself with the road signs before
arrival and so please visit the official
UK Government website which provides a comprehensive
list of our road signs.If you hire a car, take the option of a Sat Nav as it will take much of the stress out of route planning. If you want to check routes before you get here try using Mappy. It gives estimated times of journeys as well. Never under estimate how long it takes to travel even relatively short distances!
By Rail
Trains from London to Salisbury or Stonehenge
The nearest railway station to Stonehenge is Salisbury.The trains leave from London Waterloo. You can buy tickets on the day and you must buy them before you get on the train or you may be fined. Always ask for the cheapest return fare. If there are 3 or 4 of you travelling ask for a Group Save fare as it's a lot cheaper.
