Stonehenge was not originally on the itinerary, but it was subbed to replace another cathedral. We had seen enough churches. I visited the day before the Summer Solstice, so it was a bit of a zoo. Never in my life had I ever dreamed that I would see Stonehenge; in 2006 we returned again. What disappointed me was the path. While I understand the need for a path, I so wanted to touch and feel. None the less, it is an exciting place and the opportunity to get there was a bucket list item, if I had a bucket list. Loved this post.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-21924186331185593732016-04-05T10:31:28.942-05:002016-04-05T10:31:28.942-05:00Judy, I enjoyed your photos and details about Ston...Judy, I enjoyed your photos and details about Stonehenge.

(Not that I am fascinated by this iconic collection of massive stones, but you managed to make it interesting even for me. I doubt it was the cold, dry facts; more the wit behind the words.) I am quite shocked that one is not able to visit them up close anymore.

I particularly appreciated that there's a lot of Stonehenge that's not set in stone. It is, of course, a special place. I can remember visiting it centuries ago when entry was via a kissing-gate and you paid some bloke sitting in a wooden kiosk. Last time I went, it was like IKEA on a wet Saturday. You're absolutely right about Avebury - and I prefer it - but it doesn't have the precision of Stonehenge.Mike@Bit About Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741370413282813229noreply@blogger.com
