Stonehenge & Bath

Definitely a “bucket list” stop. However, we didn’t think we could see it from the highway on the way in. It was very convenient of the druids to stack the stones about 30-40m from the roads. Great vision into the future!
We got there early enough to park in the lot. It was full and turning away cars when we left. The visitor center provided great insights into the surrounding area, how it was celebrated, but nobody really knows why it was so important.

A short bus ride later we got to the stones! There is a path about 30-50m around the stones which allows great pictures without people in the way. In the area around them we could see various burial mounds, ditches, and man made landscape changes. Amazing to think it was all dragged, dug and stacked by hand over 3000 years ago.

From Stonehenge we went to Bath and spent the evening walking around. The downtown is a beautiful walking area with plenty of site seeing, shopping and food choices. We are looking forward to the hop on/off bus in the morning.Leia mais
