Peak Season vs Low Season

Peak Season: June to August, Off-Season: January to March, and November-December

During the Peak Season, from June to August, Stonehenge has much more visitors than usual. For a quieter experience, visit Stonehenge between March to June and September to November. These are not quite the peak or off-season, but just right in terms of weather and crowding.
