People who buy advance passes for August automatically go into a daily draw for guaranteed solitude among the giant stones. English Heritage says this is the first scheme of its kind since paid entry began at the historic site 125 years ago. Normally, tourists must stay behind rope barriers or pay about £1,500 for an exclusive tour to get up close.
