Stonehenge

Stonehenge.gif

To let, not far from Yeovil.

This was amazing! Over 5000 years old, it is mostly in ruins but had been the center of some kind of cultural activity in prehistoric times. There are burial sites (barrows) concentrated in the surrounding area and the alignment of Stonehenge is such that it marks the summer and winter soltices. A very interesting tour, we were provided with handheld speakers that gave a spoken tour around the site. The larger stones were brought from about 20 miles away, while the smaller ones were brought from the mountains in Wales, over 250 miles away.

Great picture. It must be something to view it upclose and personal. I never knew it marked the summer and winter soltices. We're glad you (all) are settling in and have already found a place. These blogs are great. We'll be checking them more often. Enjoy your time there.
