In 2023, the Tower of London was the most visited castle and historical monument site in England, welcoming nearly 2.8 million visitors. Although attendance increased significantly over the previous year, it remained slightly below the figure recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic. While the iconic archaeological site of Stonehenge had the third-highest number of visitors in 2019, it ranked fifth in 2023. That year, the number of visits to Stonehenge reached 1.3 million, remaining below pre-pandemic levels.
