Visit this World Heritage site, one of most remarkable and intriguing monuments in the United Kingdom. As old as the great temples and pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge exerts a mysterious fascination. The enormous Bluestones were brought all the way from South Wales by sheer manpower, a feat hard to imagine possible.
The monument is precisely situated to face the rising and setting of the sun and many druids worship here. Make time to also visit the extensive prehistoric landscape nearby. The magnificent stones of Stonehenge are surrounded by many mysterious remains of ceremonial and domestic structures - some older than the monument itself and many accessible by road or footpath.
