Mystery of the Stonehenge
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).
After a long journey thru train awaits bus on package to and fro to take us to the spot get us back to train station is too gud arrangement kuddos to tourism dept over there ..finally rchd this landscape which we used to see as display pictures on Microsoft windows display decades before amazing green landscapes with too chilled but heavy cold wind on the day I visited Stonehenge day went well and worth visiting place ...which is 1500 yrs old unesco world heritage site
the ticket is quite pricey but we enjoyed the visit and took lots of lovely pictures. The museum is certainly a must visit as it provides valuable information about the history of the magical place .
Stonehenge is a World Heritage Site and a stunning monument of prehistoric ingenuity and creativity. I went here alone to see this masterpiece of someone who made it but we don’t know.
A very interesting time out for the family. best to buy a shuttle pass if you have difficulty walking.keep water handy on warm days and be ready for mud on a rainy day.
Incredible experience seeing this ancient attraction. Tour guides were very helpful and showed deep knowledge, with conspiracy theories shining through too. Definitely book a tour within the stones if you can!
