Stonehenge, just 10 mi north of Salisbury on Salisbury Plain, is Britain's most

famous ancient monument, and one of its most popular tourist attractions (the
site is so popular visitors need to purchase a timed ticket in advance to
guarantee entry).

Covering 8 sq mi, the "hanging stones" were placed here from 3000-1500 BC.
The Bronze Age stone circles visible today were in use until the Roman era,
when they were destroyed to prevent cults like the Druids from influencing the
population. An excellent Visitor Centre is home to informative exhibitions, and
includes a shop and caf.

Location: Shrewton, Wiltshire
