Is it possible to visit Stonehenge by public transportation from
London as
a one day excursion?

While it is possible, it is worth noting that many people find
Stonehenge rather disappointing unless they have a specialist interest.

The setting is disappointing, but it is still worth going to see.

Absolutely agree.


I'd consider combining it with a visit to Salisbury Cathedral

Definitely.

Again, I'll third that!


(possible

via rail and bus) or with a visit to Bath. Several coach companies offer
day trips to Stonehenge + Bath from London for a reasonable price.

If someone is visiting Britain from abroad they should definitely visit
somewhere which isn't London, somewhere nice.


Absolutely. In the case of Stonehenge perhaps visitors might consider
staying overnight in Bath or Salisbury, perhaps at the end of their
visit before returning to Heathrow by National Express coach.

Other easy options for day trips from London are of course Oxford and
Cambridge, though there are so many other choices like Canterbury (are
there any day coach tours that take in the not so faraway Leeds Castle
as well?). One might even consider a walk in the home counties
countryside.
