Way too pricey for what it is. Tiny (around 5 meters) and not that informative. Staff was nice, though.

A fabulous, if small, museum depicting the history of the stone circle and the surrounding area. It's well laid out, and the content is easy to read. Having spent a few days exploring the historic sites of this area it helped to further enhance my understanding of the past. Definitely worth a visit and, if you're a member of English Heritage, it's free to enter

Can't call it a museum. It was a small exposition and not worth it if you have to pay for it. We had a national trust overseas pass, so therefore free of charge. Gardens were reasonable, but also for those to visit you have to pay separately if not have a national trust membership. Even had a discussion with the person who sells the ticket, because he stated that I had to pay for parking. I new that with the overseas pass parking is included. He said with not a nice tone, that's only for yearly membership. I wouldn't give me the tickets for museum and garden! So I looked it up and showed him the mail and then he said, angry; here you have your tickets and looked at me if I had done something wrong. Not the way other staff acts towards guests. We could not visit house because it was closed. A lot of national trust houses are closed at this time...a pity
