The people who built Stonehenge probably didn't have wheels or domesticated horses.
Also, Wales is hilly [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wales&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wales&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=images...], and there is a the choice of a either rather dangerous river [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=severn+bore&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=severn+bore&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=...] or the Irish Sea [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wales+south+coast&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wales+south+coast&t=ffab&iar=image...] to get past to get from Wales to Stonehenge.
On the other hand, all that water probably helped when they had to get the stones there.
