Neolithic houses at Stonehenge

Highlight • Monument

Hardly any other place is as shrouded in mystery and surrounded by such a magical aura as Stonehenge. Entry is well organized, online booking is advisable, and both the museum with multimedia show and the open-air exhibition are worth seeing. Of course there is also a restaurant and a well-stocked souvenir shop here.

View of Stonehenge

Highlight • Historical Site

Stonehenge is a must-see destination for any cyclist who happens to be in the area, much like the not too distant Avebury site (see highlight komoot.com/highlight/3309344).

According to Wikipedia "Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC."

Considering that this man-made site has been standing for about 5,000 years and that some of its construction materials, sarsen stones weighing around 25 tons, were quarried and then transported by the builders from the Preseli Hills, 150 miles (240 km) away in modern-day Pembrokeshire in Wales we can only admire this feat of human ingenuity.

View of Stonehenge from the public footpath

Highlight • Viewpoint

This trail takes you right past Stonehenge and is utterly breathtaking. From this spot, you get almost as close to the Neolithic monument as paying guests do. Stonehenge is a World Heritage Site and is one of the most recognisable prehistoric monuments in the world. Getting so close to the stones is an unforgettable experience.

August 20, 2023,Spaziergang bei Stonehenge

Stones that are said to have been here for a very long time. It takes a lot of imagination and mysticism to be able to certify this place as "magic". Sure, a must see, but I would never pay an entrance fee to get 10 meters closer to the stones. Outside the English Heritage pay zone you see just as …

Today we went to our next city and station in Liverpool. For the journey we have chosen a real treat, a visit to the cult site of Stonehenge. The stone construction is probably one of the most famous sights in England and should not be missed during a stay in England. We were lucky with the weather and the rush …

July 6, 2025,Stonehenge und 1. Abend Brighton

Today we're returning via Brighton, stopping off at Stonehenge.
I've never been here before and I was overwhelmed.
You could say they're just stones...
But they're beautiful stones.
I always wonder how they could have built something like that with the simplest of means.
Personally, I think it's good that the stone circle is now surrounded by a barrier. This …

Well, I don't understand why they all have no idea what it was used for.
It's quite obvious: there used to be a thatched roof on it and then there was a hardware store inside. And the alignment was based on the solstices because there was 20% off everything (except pet food).

My goodness, it can't be that difficult.
