Stonehenge
It's Stonehenge!
Another stone circle. This one the Victorians decided it was a good idea to drive a road through the middle of it. In a way it is actually more interesting than Stonehenge. There is the stone circle, reasonably good gastroish pub, National Trust manor house and a rather dark museum. Also nearby is Silbury Hill, Europe's largest prehistoric man-made hill.
