Sunrise at Stonehenge?

Are there any early moning trips from London to Stonehenge and back? I'd
like to go to Stonehenge early in the morning to get some nice photos for an
hour or so, then head back to London the same morning to have the rest of
the day still available in London.

Stonehenge is up to 3 hours from London, around 90 miles, so to get a
sunrise there at this time of year would be quite an adventure. But apart
from that I don't know the answer to your question, just a hunch that it'd
be tricky to organise with most coach operators.

As part of an Oxford University archaeology course some years ago, our
lecturer arranged for us to have a private dawn visit to Stonehenge. The
skies were clear, and it was a simply magical experience wandering around
the stones as the sun rose over the horizon. Suggest you check out the
English Heritage website for details of private visits.

Factor in English weather. It's likely to be cold, grey, and
unphotoworthy. How close can you get to the stones anyway?

Well the first (direct) train out of London (Waterloo) that stops at
Salisbury is the 7:10 arriving about an hour and a half later.. add to
that a half hour taxi journey and I think you may miss the sunrise...
Still realistically you could be back in London by midday... but it
would be a very long tiring day..

I forgot to mention, this is for late June, so the I am going to expect
wonderful weather.
If sunrise isn't practical, then at least the earliest available trip there
and back.
I do not want to make a full day out of the Stonehenge trip.
