Stonehenge

While we decided to spend a few days here on a spontaneous note - we definitely don‘t regret it! The hike was really nice but it was too cold to go swimming into the ocean.

It takes about an hour to drive from Stonehenge to the town of Bath, passing through endless grasslands and farmland, typical English countryside scenery. The cut grass is rolled into round bales, which are quite charming from a distance. The stones that make up the stone circle are a type of bluestone from the Preseli Hills in southern Wales, 240 miles from the current location of the stone circle. Some evidence collected suggests that these huge stones were transported here during the Ice Age. But who built it? Why was it built? No scholar can explain it clearly. Stonehenge is a famous prehistoric cultural temple site in Europe. According to research, it was born in 3000 BC, was abandoned for a time, and was rebuilt in 1600 BC, finally forming its current appearance. There are about thirty-eight stones of various sizes left now. Due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, many strange-shaped holes have formed on the surface of the stones. Stonehenge is arranged in a concentric circle, the stones are roughly rectangular, but they stand upright on the ground, more than thirteen feet high. On top of the adjacent stones, there is another stone lying on top, either spanning two or four, arranged in a strange pattern.

On the vast Salisbury Plain, a group of large stones called Stonehenge has stood for 4300 years. As a famous prehistoric cultural site in Europe, what is it for? How were they transported? How were they arranged like this? These questions are still unsolved mysteries. The most incredible thing about Stonehenge is the giant stones at the center of the stone circle. The tallest of these stones is meters high, with an average weight of nearly 30 tons, arranged in a circular pattern with a diameter of over 100 meters, which is extremely shocking. However, many of the stones weighing up to 7 tons are placed horizontally on two vertical pillars. When arriving at Stonehenge, the first sight of these huge stones really makes one feel amazed. Their enormous size and shape are unbelievable, as if no modern technology could move them. Under the sun's shining, these stones emit a mysterious light, as if revealing some kind of mysterious power to us. Around the Stonehenge, there are other mysterious relics and monuments. The most famous one is the "Devil's Door", which is two huge stone pillars that look like a gateway. People have always believed that these standing stones were used for mysterious rituals, but their specific purpose remains a mystery to this day. On the grassland around Stonehenge, many small ruins and ancient tombs can be seen. These ruins represent the development and progress of early human civilization, allowing us to feel the life and culture of ancient people. If driving with navigation, you need to navigate to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre instead of Stonehenge. After buying tickets at the visitor center, you need to take the park's shuttle bus, which takes about 3 kilometers. This is the end point of the shuttle bus. Stonehenge admission ticket: £17.2/adult (including park shuttle).
