@managementfromthewild It was a bucket list travel to visit Britain’s Most Iconic Monument the Stonehenge @EnglishHeritage
Few things to remember
Stonehenge Exhibition: Don’t rush towards Stonehenge, trust me, first go to the exhibition at the visitor centre which is next to the ticket counter, this provides a wealth of information on the site’s history, as well as the people who built it and how they did so. Make sure to spend some time here to fully appreciate the site.
Stone Circle Experience: When visiting Stonehenge, the main attraction is the stone circle itself. Be sure to take your time walking around it and admiring the impressive structure. You can also consider joining a guided tour to learn more about the history and significance of the site.
The Cursus Barrows: Next to Stonehenge, you will find the Cursus Barrows! These are Neolithic and Bronze Age round barrow cemeteries located mostly south of the western end of the Stonehenge Cursus. Make sure to talk and experience that as well.
Neolithic houses: On your way back after the Stonehenge walk tour, next to the information centre don’t forget to walk towards the Five Neolithic houses that have been recreated at Stonehenge to reveal how the ancient monument’s builders would have lived 4,500 years ago.
Test your strength: Next to the Neolithic houses there is a chance to test your strength too as you can try and pull one of the large stone columns along the wooden rollers.
Food & Drink: There are several options for food and drink on-site, including a café and a kiosk selling snacks and drinks. You can also bring your own food and have a picnic on the grounds.
Shop: The Stonehenge gift shop offers a variety of souvenirs, including books, clothing, and replica artefacts. Be sure to stop by if you’re interested in taking home a memento of your visit.
Visit a Museum: If you have time, consider visiting the nearby Salisbury Museum, which has exhibits on the history of the Salisbury area, including Stonehenge. You can also explore the town of Salisbury itself, which has a rich history and several other interesting museums and attractions. I couldnt go but next time I will go here as well.
