Getting there
Getting to Amesbury: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Southampton Airport (SOU), about 39 km from the city centre in a straight line; Bournemouth Airport (BOH, 44 km) and Bristol Airport (BRS, 69 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
The A303 trunk road runs past Amesbury. From the east, it's high-speed dual-carriageway all the way from the M3 (junction 8 - 28 miles), but from the west there's a 5-mile stretch of single-carriageway through the village of Winterbourne Stoke and past Stonehenge. The combination of bottleneck and the "rubberneck effect" of the ancient monument means traffic on this section is typically at a crawl, so factor this in to your journey planning. From Salisbury, the A345 makes for a direct 8-mile drive.
Getting around
The Amesbury HOPPA Community Bus offers local bus service. The historic High Street area is very walkable.
