Stonehenge really affected me. It’s essentially a circle of big rocks in the middle of nowhere, but what it says about humanity is fascinating. I highly recommend seeing it if you have any interest in human history.
- lostlogin 8y agoThe number of visitors and the nearby motorway really detracted from it for me, but it might have been a bad day. Much smaller but really impressive were other ones that appear on ordinance survey maps all over the U.K. (check the wiki). Even the relatively busy Avebury one is easy to escape the tourists due to is vast size and long Meg sticks in my mind. I was on a working holiday, and can recommend getting an ordinary survey map of any area you’ll be around in the U.K. and visiting the old stuff. World War Two airbases, Neolithic barrows, canal locks, quarries, mines and churches etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stone_circles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stone_circles
- chrisseaton 8y ago> nearby motorway There’s no motorways by Stonehenge - that’s the A303 you’re thinking of.
- cup-of-tea 8y agoWhile a motorway is a special designation of road in the UK, in practice roads like the A303 are motorways, as in roads consisting of constant, heavy motorised traffic.
