Way to visit Stonehenge from a local village?

Shame it isn't any other day of the week as there is an hourly bus service from Pewsey to Salisbury that passes close by to Stonehenge except on Sunday.

Can't help you on specific tours or taxis / private hire but the £45 figure one way seems not out of range but probably towards the top, costwise.

I was going to suggest the bus also but Sunday is the spanner in the works.

It's also highly unlikely to be snowing at that time.

Valleywide Taxis is a company that pops up when I google “Pewsey taxis”. [email protected] is their website. Obviously, I haven’t used them, so I cannot comment on their service and neither will anybody else on this forum! There is also another taxi firm there - Outlook Private Hire, according to Google, so I don’t know why your search yielded scant results.

Pewsey has a population of just under 5,000, which is four times the size of the village where I live! The Vale of Pewsey is good for walking and home to several horse racing trainers. Having a car would be beneficial as the best parts of the area are quite rural.

Your chances of snow are slight - most falls after Christmas and not in southern England.

I was at Stonehenge Dec 29 2017. A Friday over the Christmas hols. No snow, but you definitely need wind breaker coat with warm hat, gloves, etc. I didn't unpack the wooly hat and got chilled and sick. Still, a beautiful clear day but crowded.
Ticket line ups were very long as were traffic line ups at the closest cross corners and for parking. Is your village anywhere near Salisbury? There are tours from there, but the one I took was really just a HOHO bus. It means you skip the line, but there is no onsite guided tour.

Thanks, everyone, for all the valuable inputs!

@Marco Appreciate the thoughts and gut feeling! That's what I was looking for.

@JC Thank you. This helps us narrow down options. A group offer "winter tours" and showed photos of light snow and I thought that's something to be prepared for.

@Jennifer Yes, Valley Wide is where I got my first number from, and the other group doesn't operate on Sundays. Thank you for sharing your experience. If we find a tour group we'll get to see more of the rural areas. A friend I'm meeting up with in the area is a fan of walks at such places and perhaps it could happen with a group.

By scant results I also mean a lot of tours pick up from London, Bath, or Salisbury.

@James Yes, this was where I got my initial quote from. They look great, but run tours based on a full 6-people car.

@MariaF What a beautiful and also a cold time of the year to visit! Thanks for sharing, I'll be packing my merino wool shirt and gloves. Depending on whatever's available, I'd be ok with or without an on-site tour. I'm curious if late November would be a relatively lower season (or if such thing exists for Stonehenge).

This helped me make sense of the big picture. I'm used to comparing services, but I'll do a little more research and if there's not much new, stick with whatever I find.

@JC Thank you. This helps us narrow down options. A group offer "winter tours" and showed photos of light snow and I thought that's something to be prepared for.

That photo was likely taken in the new year, we tend to get snow in the South in January/February and sometimes March. Displaying a photo for a winter tour will always look more evocative if it has snow in it, it's not representative of November weather.

That being said, never say never! There are reports that the UK is due to face a cold winter with snow possible at the end of the month. The Met office disagree but when they struggle to get the forecast correct for the forthcoming day I'm not confident in their confidence.

Have you considered going to Avebury instead of Stonehenge which is much closer to Pewsey?
