Indisputably one of the world's most vital prehistoric sites and surely one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions, the ancient ring of Neolithic stones at Stonehenge has attracted hordes of pilgrims, philosophers and mystery seekers for centuries. Situated in a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, Stonehenge is considered one of the most archaeologically rich spots in Europe. It lures with not only its construction which echoes the long forgotten Britain's past but mostly with the veil of unsolved mysteries and theories connected with its use. Should you yearn for more of these ‘sacrificial center or a celestial timepiece' problems to solve head for Avebury's stone circles.

Pretty cool, but you aren't allowed very close to the stones. Very informative audio tour, but it's very long. Whole atmosphere is very neat...like something I've never experienced. A historical landmark you shouldn't miss.
