Jerry Ray Hall visits Stonehenge
One of the world’s greatest mysteries, Stonehenge is a massive circle of 3,500-year-old standing stones and earthworks located in the middle of a green field in Wiltshire. While it’s unclear who built the landmark or how, Stonehenge is surely one of Britain’s most important ancient monuments, having been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986.
Evidence suggests that the area may have once been a burial site, and theories abound that Stonehenge may have astronomical, spiritual or even supernatural meaning. These days, travelers flock to the vista to experience the magic and mystery, especially at the time of the summer and winter solstices. The site is often visited on day trip tours from London that combine visits to other towns like Oxford, Salisbury and Bath. Opt for an early-access ticket to see Stonehenge in all its glory without the crowds.
