What can you see from Stonehenge?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Stonehenge — observation point at 107 m, coordinates 51.1789, -1.8262.
From Stonehenge, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 22.7 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 22.7 km to the north (bearing 350°), at 293 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 1,923,668 terrain samples.

Frequently asked questions
How far can you see from Stonehenge?
On a clear day the terrain allows a line of sight of up to 22.7 km from Stonehenge. The average visible distance across all 360 directions is 4.3 km. Atmospheric conditions (haze, humidity) usually reduce practical visibility below the terrain-limited maximum.
What is the farthest point visible from Stonehenge?
The farthest terrain visible from Stonehenge lies 22.7 km to the north, at an elevation of 293 m. Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction are accounted for in this calculation.
How high is Stonehenge?
The observation point at Stonehenge sits at 107 m above sea level (Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model).
How is this visibility map calculated?
UpToWhere traces lines of sight in 360 directions from the observer using 30 m-resolution Copernicus terrain data, correcting for Earth curvature and standard atmospheric refraction. You can run the same analysis for any point on Earth with the free calculator.
