Stonehenge

Stonehenge originally began its life being built out of wooden posts untils stones from North Wiltshire & Wales were brought to the sight and it is these stones that we see there today.

As a World Heritage site you should expect the location to be very busy and I would strongly advise you to arrive to the site as early as possible to avoid the masses.

There is an audio tour and guidebook available to take you around the site should you so wish.

In 1958 an archaeological dig took place and it's from this dig that we know what we know today about Stonehenge.  At the time of writing this piece (2008) another archaeological dig is taking place, so who knows what else we will find out about this site?!

All-in-all Stonehenge is probably on lots of peoples 'to visit' lists which is just about reason enough to take a visit, but at the end of the day you wont spend too long at the site as there is only so many photos you can take!  So make sure that you plan a few other things to do for the rest of your day out!
