Roads near Stonehenge are ‘extremely busy’ due to the winter solstice, police say.

Motorists are being advised to avoid the area for the duration of this morning (Friday) due to significant numbers of people gathering for the annual event.

The English Heritage car park is full, leading to people abandoning vehicles in the vicinity.

Google Maps confirms there is severe congestion on the A303, A360 and the B3086.
