goo.gl/maps/yYDy8goo.gl/maps/swf99Coordinates of intersection of droves with old A344 (near old visitor centre): 51.180352,-1.829678 You could try SP4 8NS which is Armitage Square off Willoughby Road which is literally just 100m north of the junction in Larkhill where you must take the track to the south (surfaced at that point) SP4 8NU is on the Droves themsleves (unsurfaced so not sure it will be picked up) You are heading for the droves. Green dots. Enter from Larkhill, north. Or A303 , south (Red arrows, unsignposted tracks) "A" marker is Stonehenge itself. Note you cannot approach droves from East or West. These have been closed by English Heritics (bunch of selfish twats). I would not bother with postcodes or sat navs for the stones and tracks themselves, they are not very suitable for this rural location on unmade tracks. They may get you to the general area, but you are just as likely to go round in circles when you get there. I have added a postcode for just north of the Larkhill byway turn though. Edit: Added Coords and updated Jpeg with postcodes

Ha ha Vernon, subtle joke there! ?

Nope, it was meant to be honest advice What with the post code likely to be adrift from the location when there are few houses, the need to use unsurfaced byways, and the recent road closures, trying to rely on a sat nav could get you into trouble here. If one follows my photo/map above, it's difficult to go wrong.

Oh...going round in circles! I see it now, but not intended to be a joke relating to the stones There are several roundabouts round there and I could imagine some one going up and down the A303 round and round them, being told either they had arrived, or make a turn down a closed road, or to make a U-turn!

There is a postcode somewhere that brings you right to the Larkhill end of the drove and when sat nav says you have reached your destination you just drive straight forward down the drove, can't remember who gave me the postcode probably Mr & Mrs X it is a foolproof PCode.

Yes it is better to come from Larkhill. The A303 is busy and looking for the turn in traffic can be a pain. Also I believe you can't make a right turn so you have to approach from the West If you check out the map, you will see Larkhill is on a grid system being an army garrrison place. Just head for the south west corner of Larkhill. You can see near the arrow there is an intersection where there are fields on three sides and the track going to the South as in this Google view : goo.gl/maps/i4wdqIt is at the corner of Fargo Road and Willoughby Road. You can try SP4 8NS which is Armitage Square off Willoughby Road which is literally just 100m north of that junction. SP4 8NU is on the Drove itself, though it is an unsurfaced road Edit: Have added postcodes and notes to map above

Hi got this as a Post Code SP34DX I'm going to follow it, Id like to be in the middle of the stones what a Buzz! H SP3 4DX is some way west on the B3086. It will get you in the general area, but I'd go for SP4 8NS just north of the turning into the North Drove as on the map
