Pros: Massive Wonder that is awe inspiring Cons: close to the roads, but it was there first. Did Druids build the roads?
About four years ago my wife and I were motoring through the Cotswolds of England. This is an area of quaint towns, rolling hills, and sheep. It was lovely! I learned that driving was going from one place to another, a determined plan. ...
Pros: History, Ancient Powers and Mystery Cons: You cannot touch the stones. Lousy Parking
This place will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.
I can still recall in the late 70’s, waking up very early one Sunday morning in June – way too early for any self-respecting college student – and piling into my girlfriend’s...
Pros: ancient site steeped in mystery Cons: tourist trap
During my five-and-a-half week trip to England, our group had several excursions which were planned by the people in charge of our program. Our last organized trip was to Stonehenge and Bath. I was tickled that we could include this in our itinerary...
Pros: beautiful and magical scenery, inspires the imagination and soul Cons: tourist shop, tour guide "phone," roped off areas
During a summer trip with my mentor, and other members of our drama troupe, we traveled extensively around England. One of our stops was at Stonehenge, bright and early on a June morning. Well, maybe not so bright.
Pros: uncrowded, rural stone circle with a great story Cons: out of the way location
Nearly everyone has heard of Stonehenge, but it comes as a surprise to many tourists that Britain is virtually covered with stone circles; some are large and well-known, but there are a greater number of obscure stone circles lying literally in the ...
Pros: A historical place with mystifying rock constructions Cons: Uh...devolution into just another sad tourist site
...which is one of many Druid, Middle Age constructions using boulders, stones, etc. that show up all over the British countryside. At first, I was really excited at the prospect of going to see one of the most famous historical sites in the world. So...
I visited the great stones at Stonehenge and Avebury twice. One trip was in December and the other in May. England is cold in December... don't go then!
Stonehenge is a beautiful site. As we drove up the road and I first glimpsed the giant...
Pros: You can say you've been there...? Cons: You can see it just as good from the road, windy, lame tour guides
When I first arrived in London for my year long work assignment. One of the first things I wanted to see outside of London was Stonehenge. I'd grown up seeing it on television programs like "In Search Of" and many others. So you can imagine my...
Pros: Come on! It's Stonehenge. You HAVE to see it. Cons: In the end, it is still just a big pile of rocks.
All my life I dreamed of visiting Stonehenge. I can't quite say what about it attracted me. I just knew that I had to see it. In Spring of '97 that dream came true.
My reaction, was to say the least, mixed. At first, I was disappointed...
Pros: Well, it is Stonehenge! Cons: Right next to a highway, entrance fee, can't go anywhere near the stones
Although I am recommending it, I must first confess that Stonehenge is probably the biggest disappointment in all my travels, as far as expectations were concerned. Why? Well, let me tell you the positive things first...
Pros: historical value, curiosity Cons: can't feel and touch them, access only via tunnel
Let me start out by saying I came here because I wanted to see the rocks and I had ABSOLUTELY NO interest in anything to do with mysticism and power. My biggest shock was that there may really be something going on there, although I have no idea what....
Pros: Historical Cons: Not many places to sit down
Even in this day and age, erecting a monument (if that's what it is) of this magnitude would take some planning and lots of heavy equipment. So the age-old question remains, how did they do this thousands of years ago?
Pros: Puzzle for the minds!!! Cons: Isolated, harsh weather in winter
You MUST drive to this location, as the approach to Stonehenge, is one of the most exciting you could imagine. In the middle of a desolate valley, surrounded by rolling hills and green pastures, you come over a large dale, and in the distance in front of...
Pros: Great historical site Cons: Short trip, kind of a let down to what I thought it would be
I went to Stonehenge with a group of students doing a study abroad program. The guy who took us waited outside and told us he'd give up about 45 minutes, since there's not too much to see. I couldn't believe it, I thought it would be a full day. The...
Pros: You want old? This is old. Cons: Hard to get into the atmosphere of it
It's pointless me giving you a history lesson on Stonehenge, you can get that anywhere, but let me tell you what you can expect when you visit the site.
Stonehenge was voted as being the worst managed and presented tourist facility in...
