Britain's Most Disappointing Landmark

[@EdChapman23]

I'm still shocked at just how bad this place was, worse than Pisa - what do you reckon? Getting closer to 50k subs now, so make sure you check you're definitely subbed! Some people don't realise they haven't actually clicked it, cheers!

[@evannat1273]

[@Rashworth]

‘It’s like a Tetris graveyard’ is the best and most accurate description of Stonehenge I have ever heard.

[@MrJackStacey]

The best way to see Stonehenge is in your car on the A303!

[@LemieuxToyDIYs]

My Grandmother used to stay at the baracks in Salisbury back in the 50s where stonehenge was merely a picnic location, she had many a story of when she used to go to the stones, drape a blanket over them and eat off of them. Never mentioned an admission fee, shuttle buses or a huge visitor centre!

[@timfagan816]

When I was 7 or 8, I visited this boring place, there was no rope around it then, I was desperate for a piss, so pissed on one of the Rocks! Happy memories of a rather boring tourist attraction!

[@mark89p]

Grand designs impression was On Point Ed!!! hahahaha

[@jkayrichardson3366]

Stone henge is a good piece of british history, but Ive got to admit the price just to see a bunch of stones is insane

[@HouseSanity]

“You’re literally French” is the most real thing I’ve ever heard😂

[@Doctor.Kästien.Louis.Rosenberg]

‘ Put a little cafe inside ‘😂🤣🤣😂🤣 Ed crack’s me up

[@JamesWho1]

He is well funny 🤣😂

[@sparerib]

Ed if you found Stonehenge a little too exciting, you should try Vindolanda in the North of England. I went there a couple of years ago in January, I should have checked first, but the museum was closed. I spent an hour walking round the ruins with the rain coming in horizontally. I think you'd love it mate 😂.

[@blueptconvertible]

I sort of felt that way when I went to Stonehenge 20 years ago. There was no exhibition hall then. Stonehenge was right on the side of the road. It was a little anticlimactic to be honest. It looks better set up now.

[@PapaClarkeTheGoat]

the French knew to be quiet when big Ed walked past 🤐

[@ryuhayabaker]

I quite like Stonehenge. Decent walk up from the car park, some old rocks and the museums quite interesting.

[@aiviahights6658]

"who's counting, me I'm counting" lol that made me giggle

[@natashagarnham6053]

When I went about 15 years ago I swear you could go closer than what you can now, there wasn’t a bus to them

[@kirstywhiley3975]

yeah you could. my mum said the exact same and i remember going closer to them i was younger

[@LazarkGaming]

Yep. Like as recent as 10 years ago I think. Free ish car park, went under a tunnel i think and tiny shop and no cafe. Life was simpler back then.

[@Theroadlesstaken]

I remember my Dad taking the family to Stonehenge back in 1984 when I was a sprog. There was no exhibition centre, bus or barriers. You could get up close, walk about the stones & touch them.

[@LordChris91]

Another brilliant video and shame I didn't see you up there last weekend.

[@EdChapman23]

Cheers Chris!

[@mrsm4405]

“Finished game of jenga” 😂 - classic. 👍

[@AFCManUk]

Dude, go to Avebury instead. It's free, and you can go right up to the stones.

[@nothotdog1488]

I got a few rocks in my garden, I only charge £3.50 and you can lick the things for all I care.

[@wudugast1]

Or Wayland's Smithy 👍

[@lucyhardman8386]

We pulled up in the car park decided we had seen it and drove off again 🙈

[@sawahtb]

I'm from the U.S. and I visited in probably 1998. We drove there from Salisbury, and I seem to recall the "visitor" center being very close and none of that other stuff, the prehistoric buildings, etc. You did need to stay on a walkway that was as I recall much closer to the stones. The visitor center had a very low profile, almost under ground to not be obviously in the line of sight. I was interested in seeing it, but yeah, I'd never do it twice. I don't recall being charged a fee. I came back to the UK several times and never considered seeing Stonehenge again.

[@Carl-x8y3c]

Hi 👋 Greetings from New Zealand. I have viewed a number of your videos and enjoy your content. I watched the pub crawl onr of swanky establishments in London. It was a hoot. I like your down to earth honesty. From Carl.

[@Rob-cy8xc]

as someone from Salisbury I have to say it was nice to grow up. In terms of Stonehenge, its more about how is got there as opposed to the actual stones. nice to see you in my hometown though

[@EdChapman23]

I liked Salisbury a lot from what I saw!

[@matttweed8961]

I actually find Stonehenge fascinating, how it can be that old but that precise .... baffling

[@maureen14]

Aliens.

[@jackwilson3034]

Another awesome video Ed. Whenever i feel down with life i just watch you and then i feel better you are so funny without even meaning to be. Thanks mate!

[@CameronM47]

So Tenerife and Stonehenge are both places with lots of rubble, though the latter is more boring. "Here it is from a distance now, it's the same really but just further away." hahahaha

[@jenstone9308]

Totally agree with you Ed! I was really excited about going but it felt quite underwhelming. Stretched it out by walking up to the stones rather than taking the bus but while it was cool to have seen the stones, once you've looked at them for a few minutes there's not much else to do. 😅 It was absolutely heaving with tourists when I went and I too never realised you couldn't actually get close to the stones. It's got cool history but it just felt like a really overpriced tourist attraction (which it is) rather than a spiritual experience. I'm glad I went and experienced it for myself, got some pics of the stones etc but I wouldn't go again!

[@FurbleFawks]

100% agreed with you on this one. There are similar (less complete) stone circles you can see for free in the peak district.

[@torquilmorrison1283]

You can see stone henge for free on the somer sulstice and get up to the stones + great atmosphere

[@PegLegPirate]

Lived about half an hour away from Stonehenge my entire life, passed it multiple times in those 40 years. Never once wanted to stop and get any closer than the A303 that passes it

[@nainai-z2e]

In the Uk we have Avebury which is similar to stonehenge but way less of a tourist trap - it literally has a road throuigh the middle and you can gonear the stones and actually touch them ( or even climb on the m ? ). Ive went there way more and it is deftinitely a way better exoerience. Also has really nice nature walks nearby adnd other activities.

[@rachs86782]

Loved the grand designs impression 😂

[@Lillith-z6o]

Same it sent me 💀🤣🤣🤣

[@John-ty3sf]

I have been there twice .. I think it’s absolutely amazing.. but I do get what you are saying.. half the people I went with are of the same opinion as you .. I think it depends on how much you like history.. and this history 101

[@thelejo6419]

Great video man i love it keep the good work a lot of love from croatia to your channell🔥🔥😁

[@EdChapman23]

Thank you!

[@danielduffy5180]

Could have saved money buying a combined Bus and Entry ticket from one of my colleagues! Yeah it’s only a couple of £ but still and nice to see my house in the video lol 😂

[@garyjeffrey5026]

Loving your vids Ed. Very amusing, appeals to my sense of humour. Hopefully the BBC will be aware of your work

[@themoonraker]

Haha. I live in Amesbury next to Stonehenge and totally agree. I took some South Indian guests there once who had never been to the UK before. They were so polite about it but you could see the disappointment in their faces. When I eventually got them to be honest about what they thought, they did say how disappointed they were, and were expecting a lot more. 😂

[@markc1793]

Little tip for anyone going to stone henge, don't pay. You can stay outside of the barrier and see 98% exactly the same things as those inside it. The only difference is you won't be able to read all the little signs, but you can easily google them.

[@michael-heslop-actor]

Another banger, Ed! Loving this kind of content 🤩

[@TheLonelyFolklore]

Another brilliant post!

[@GreenoEats]

I live about an hour from Salisbury and we go there 2 or 3 times a year. Nice town, lovely cathedral and a cracking market. Took the family to Stonehenge once, about 5 years back. I consider it done now. If you’d examined the visitor centre more closely you’d have found a room with a Bond villain type, laughing maniacally while chucking all the £23’s people have spunked on seeing a pile of rocks…

[@maureen14]

Come to World's End near Boston Massachusetts and tell me what you think.

[@MartinBrez]

The most interesting thing about Stonehenge is the scene from Spinal Tap 😂

[@lornaa8077]

Glad you posted this. I live really close but now i shall not visit 😂

[@henrykravitz468]

Tetris graveyard 🤣🤣 what a comment. I have never thought of going to Stonehenge as it doesn't interest me. Great video

[@xIDarkSideIx]

Wayy the legend is back love your stuff man 🔥🔥

[@user-cathysbd1]

Definitely much smaller than I thought it would be. Great review video. Funny and interesting. xx

[@daniellatheczarina2u915]

Not many people know this but the ancient builders were going to make a spa for the elite but bodged the job, took the money and scarpered.

[@Budgiearmy]

60 quid js to go inside an d touch a stone is mad lol

[@KenJustice_uk]

I've been there a few times when driving to cornwall and all the times I've been there I've been too early or too late and it's been closed - so I've given up and now I just see it when I drive past.

[@SvetielkoVTme]

I loved visiting Stonehenge, even got a "Stonehenge ROCKS" shirt 😂😂

[@TheLifeOfSteve24]

Haha "You're literally French!" Love it!

[@gdparry2727]

"So how was Stonehenge??" "Well the sausage roll was pretty good!"

[@HarryA]

My Uncle works at the English Heritage 😂 so I found this so funny

[@celestemorgue162]

Hi Ed, I really enjoy your videos. They're amongst some of the most wholesome content I watch on this accursed platform. By way of thanks I'd like to recommend you go and listen to a song called Stone Henge by the band Ylvis (spoiler its about stone henge but much more fun than the actual thing) Hope you're having a nice day :)

[@EffMTee]

A pile of rocks is the definition of a tourist trap, like the giant's casualway.

[@JoanneBick]

They stoped people going close up, as people were chipping away at the rocks, for souvenirs. Ive been there, it was bloody freezing. 😎

[@mancsblue]

I think it's a fascinating place and holds lots of questions that we won't ever likely have answered As an outright tourist destination it's probably not the best . But from an historic view it's pretty amazing . Everything down there is overpriced so I think that doesn't help the overall experience

[@gthbtn]

Using your revolving idea, perhaps having it revolve at walking speed so it looks the same wherever you are walking round it would be amusing, also making it inclusive for those mobility impaired visitors who can just park up in their chair and watch! 🤔 You reminded me of when I went to New York my guide book suggested catching the Staten Island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty for free and to avoid the tourists... Maybe taking a bus/Uber along that road is the English equivalent?! 😂

[@marcuscro8887]

The worst tourist attraction in the UK is England's most easterly point.... Accompanied by the worst seaside town in Suffolk! Can you believe that Top Gear actually turned up here once!

[@eilighbuckell7257]

I get free entry to Stonehenge as I’m local…and still don’t go 😂

[@stellahulott210]

I always wanted to visit Stonehenge - so I am so glad you made this hilarious video - Stonehenge really is a little bit sh*t! LOL! Another banging video mate, and thanks from saving me a wasted journey and time to Stonehenge 😂😂😂

[@EdChapman23]

Haha thank you!

[@BurtonOutdoors]

There's a public footpath that runs along next to stonehenge for free 😂

[@jamieandtherandomstuff]

The closest I've been to the Stones is driving past on the A303.

[@littlebunnybunny]

they started at stonehenge and thought not bad!!!! and then they said " come on lads eygypt to do".

[@adamcooper7677]

Please go visit baggots castle in Coventry. It's literally a couple of rocks in some mud

[@BB49.]

Actually the stone circle and stones used to be in good condition but people in the past stole, damaged and destroyed them to use the stones for building homes etc

[@Ella-v9z8r]

Anyone know what sound effect is when he is at the stone henge and it says exhibition?

[@callumnewman4871]

In rush hour that road is very busy, people slowing down to look at them

[@MB100-u8f]

I'd suggest go to Avebury instead, or go to Woodhenge (free) then park up in Larkhill and walk down to the stones, you can use the free public right of way which is really just behind the path you have to walk on anyway

[@prohoaxer]

TLDR - trip was very expensive and he was not interested in the thing at all 😂😂

[@GeneFraxby]

It needs a Greggs and a Wetherspoons slapped in the middle. Maybe 15 Costa coffee places on the walk up.

[@louisefazz]

Glad someone else sees it how I do 😅

[@gigteevee6118]

I moved that fake rock with one hand and I’m not even that 💪 😂

[@sparkidee]

Tbh Ed I think you'd need to go when the summer solstice is happening. I at first was like you but once I actually experienced it, I got why many people found it so spiritual.

[@ken.f.c.1977]

You should try newgrange in meath so

[@CosmicPrawny]

I visited Stone Henge in 1985 and could touch them. When I die my Estate will be sued by the Stones of Henge for inappropriately touching them. Seems to be the trend.

[@kaytronika]

I thought it was alright like, but it's the bit where they force you to walk near to the footpath where you can see it for free that got me. Just rubbing in that you've paid for something you could have seen for nowt.

[@tdtm82]

It's a legendary spot for summer sulstice. What it really needs is real druids, some weed and Hendrix on a stack of Marshall amps. That'll get people down.

[@DeanKelz]

i drove here 6 years back on one my of journeys when i was exploring and stuff rolled up thinking its free its just big stones in a field but no was told got to buy a ticket i was like wtf okay went to the booth thing asked about entry i forget how much it was but in my eyes it was expensive for me my partner and lil one to walk down a path where you was to look at them stones i laughed at the woman about the price i was like your joking her reply was i know and laughed too....and pointed and said drive your car down that path stop where the gate is park your car there go into the field its private farm land but can be on it walk down the fence and look at it from there and your 15 meters away from the people that pay and she said thats what i tell most people lol i believe i was at the fence behind ya at 4:29 😅...i hope seeing the stones changed your life as much as it done mine lol love your content mate keep up the good work take care 💙

[@brandonm8901]

I used to pass Stonehenge on my commute - never grew tired of it personally. It's no Colosseum but it is a pretty impressive piece of history. Then again you are probably right that Salisbury Cathedral is a better attraction

[@MagikGimp]

Flippin' Nora; they're 5000 years old, lad! That should be worth the price of the sausage roll in itself!

[@NZKiwi87]

The most shocking thing about this experience for me was that you ate that sausage roll dry 🥴 Gotta use the tomato sauce! 🍅

[@Kaylolynn]

This is me seeing the Grand Canyon at 15… o look a hole in the ground 😂. I was bitter from driving in the desert for a week to be fair

[@gezzy8095]

😂😂😂 brilliant video, maybe should of spent the money going to wales where the stones are from! 🤷‍♂️ can at least touch them then 😂

[@hufflepuffgeek1015]

So glad you made this video because after watching it I don’t think it’s worth it at all especially the price and what’s there , love your content Ed

[@mentalmickey1459]

A spa is a great idea, healing spirit water etc

[@maxw5900]

Went there in the late 90's, and got a hot dog as well as food poisoning.

[@BackpackerBen]

People fly from all around the world to see that. Madness

[@EdChapman23]

Crazy isn't it

[@ailsalivingstone5249]

It's the sort of thing that's quite nice to see if you don't have to pay for it. Lots of such sites in Scotland at least. Good walk and look at some stones/piles of stones. A nice day. 👌

[@EdChapman23]

Yeah exactly that!

[@comedyhunter]

That’s saved me wasting money going there then LOL. Should I make the effort to see the hand dryers 🤣

[@jamiegiles6767]

That grand designs reference was amazing, and deffo influenced by a comedy genius Mr Kay, love you Ed x

[@EdChapman23]

I'd forgotten about that bit he did, but yeah probably without realising

[@jamiegiles6767]

Made me love you even more mate

[@uchaos_]

Always a good day when Ed uploads 🙏

[@markbatt-rawden7950]

I went on a school trip in the seventies we jumped allover it scratch are names in it had lunch on it ,victorians used to chip bits off and take them home but I now believe it has great energy

[@jskeggs_]

Been here and done the same thing as you my friend and I back you on this one haha. Good and funny video man

[@Mongchong_123]

I feel your pain Ed! I went once and I felt like it was a big waste of time and money just for a bunch of rocks which you can see from the road while driving past them!!

[@SeanONeill-ef5vb]

Best thing about Stonehenge is that you can just drive past it and see all you need to see.

[@mike_0213]

It's something you can check off your bucket-list at least, even if you did not like it. I must say, one hell of a lesson on the history and story of Stonehenge. So damn good it should be shown in all schools. 😂 😂
