The uninformed have been saying this for years, the truth is those sarsen stones aren't available in Wales, they exist very close to Stonehenge in other parts of Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire
- simonh 6y agoThe sarsen (sandstone) stones most likely came from West Woods, 15 miles from Stonehenge, but there's no known local geological source for the bluestones though. These do seem to have come from Wales somehow. The varied geological origins of the stones has caused a lot of confusion like this.
- DanBC 6y agoStonehenge has a mix of sarsen stones and blue stones. The sarsen stones come from Wiltshire. The blue stones come from the Preseli Hills in south west Wales.
