Stonehenge daytrip from London?

[bakedpotato]

DN (darling nanny) would like to know best/easiest/cheapest way to see the stones. Is it best to take train somewhere local where with connecting bus service? Stonehenge webbie crap.

Blu - Old Sarum was the original Salisbury, and there are the ruins of the castle / cathedral and a couple of the other dwellings still there. As WWW said - good views over the area as well.
Swiperfox - you've missed the dragons! It was a St. Georges Day tie - in. Loads of kids running round with shields and swords yelling 'I've found a dragon Mummy' They did an Easter egg hunt there too, but we went to the one at Old Wardour castle - thats a lovely place to visit as well if your dd is into castles, and Portchester castle (between Portsmouth and Southampton).
