Day 276 - We are on our way back from Devon today and it's hammering it down with rain, as we were stuck in traffic I managed to take a picture of Stonehenge in the distance!
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in and consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0m) high, seven feet (2.1m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 2000 BC to 3000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.
Went there around 4 or 5 years ago with Carole (her first time); was horrified to hear an American visitor, male early 20s say “Hey, it’s just a pile of rocks.” 🤦🏻♂️
We always drive the back route through the parallel villages and artillery ranges. Hate that bottleneck on the A303! Always nice to see the stones. They are always fascinating
Cool picture. Brings back memories! We visited many years ago when we lived in London. We still remember and laugh about the audio-tour they had then. They repeated the the sentence "it's a mystery" a few time too many...
