Stonehenge

"Stonehenge is one of the most iconic and mysterious prehistoric monuments in the world, located on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. This ancient stone circle, dating back to around 2500 BC, is renowned for its massive standing stones arranged in a circular formation. Visitors can marvel at the impressive stone structure and ponder its historical and astronomical significance. Key attractions include the Stone Circle itself, the Visitor Centre with interactive exhibits and the Amesbury Archer exhibit, showcasing artifacts from the surrounding area. The Stonehenge Landscape offers walking trails with views of the monument from different perspectives. On the summer and winter solstices, Stonehenge opens its gates for free, allowing visitors to experience the monument up close during these special astronomical events. For a deeper experience, consider joining a guided tour or taking part in special access tours that allow entry to the inner circle during quieter hours. Stonehenge is open to visitors year-round, with advanced booking recommended, especially during peak seasons. The site provides ample parking, and the visitor facilities include a café and gift shop."

"If you're looking for a day trip: An hour drive from town, Stonehenge is one of the world's most iconic archaeological sites and one of its greatest enigmas. There is so much history here, the myth is that these stones were constructed to communicate with other worlds. Unfortunately, you can only touch the stones on the equinox and solstice, but you can absolutely still feel the magic from afar. Because it draws so many people, I recommend going on a weekday morning. You can buy tickets online or at the door and the process is easy! You will take a short bus over to the stones from the parking lot. "
