Couple piggybacks
If you're doing the Tower, get up and get there first thing in the morning, before the lines get huge. We stayed in Tower Hill with our then-three year old and were able to walk down to the tower and beat the rush to the crown jewels and other busy spots.
Bath is freaking awesome. The Roman Baths are super cool, and the city is both fun and gorgeous.
Stonehenge is, as you say, one of those "ok, seen it, moving on" things, although the people watching and the overwrought audio guide narration (which basically makes it really clear that we have no idea whatsoever what Stonehenge was or why it was built) both add some entertainment value.
Salisbury Cathedral, which is like five minutes from Stonehenge, is also worth seeing. They have the Magna Carta, and you can climb to the top of the steeple, which is an adventure that may be of interest to teenagers.
