If you are planning a trip to the United Kingdom, a sight you will surely not want to miss is Stonehenge in Wiltshire County. Stonehenge is one of the most popular sites in the whole world. It is made up of large earthworks around a large circle of standing stones. Experts think the stones were built in 2200BC and the surrounding ditch and earth bank around 3100BC. Stonehenge is owned and maintained by the English Heritage.

There are over nine hundred rings of stone located in the British Isles and experts believe that at least double that amount was constructed originally. Due to the limited records concerning Stonehenge, explanations pertaining to the structure’s function are mostly left up to interpretation.

Stonehenge is the most visited and best known of the rings in the British Isles. The circle is three hundred twenty feet around with only one entrance. There are mysteriously fifty-six holes around the perimeter containing human remains that have been cremated. There was a sanctuary made out of wood located in the middle of the circle. The circle was lined up with the sunrise of midsummer, the sunset of midwinter, the southern rising of the moon and the northern setting of the moon. In 2150BC, the wooden sanctuary was replaced with bluestones and the entrance was widened.

Your whole family will enjoy a visit to the mysterious Stonehenge.
