this is what wikipedia said about stonehenge:

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) west of Amesbury and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe that the iconic stone monument was erected around 2500 BC, however this was not the first stone structure on the site (see phase 3:1 below). The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge monument, and it is also a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge itself is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

you can read the rest story on the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge
hope it help.

I can tell you about the festival because I used to go to it until Margaret Thatcher sent in the troops and the police, yes really!

It was amazing every year, bands like Hawkwind used to play and it was an almost surreal experience, as though we wern't on earth anymore. When the sun rose up over the stones at the equinox everyone would go to them and watch the druids performing their ceremonies.

Everyone was like a large family, the atmosphere was like no other I've ever felt, I'll always remember those days.


myLot reputation of 84/100. GranTurismoGuru (163)   ranked 2,709 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

You'll have me in tears in a minute !! Sorry, got the devil in me today - didn't mean to be rude. I'll have to get a flight to this Stonehenge place sometime.


myLot reputation of 93/100. aslanlight (1622)  4 years ago

Lol See what you mean, I did get a tad nostalgic for a moment there! lol


myLot reputation of 84/100. GranTurismoGuru (163)   ranked 2,709 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

No No No, nothing wrong with nostalgia. I'm just trying to prompt alternate reactions.

P.S. Who's the 'lol' person? He or she certainly gets plenty of mentions all over the shop.


myLot reputation of 93/100. aslanlight (1622)  4 years ago

He's the internet Elf that lives in ethernet land and likes to keep an eye on things.


myLot reputation of 84/100. GranTurismoGuru (163)   ranked 2,709 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

And there was me thinking he was the good response fairy! lol


myLot reputation of 84/100. GranTurismoGuru (163)   ranked 2,709 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Incidentally, could anyone tell me how to get to Stonehenge please ?


myLot reputation of 93/100. aslanlight (1622)  4 years ago

It's not too far from Glastenbury in Somerset. Follow the druids! lol


myLot reputation of 84/100. GranTurismoGuru (163)   ranked 2,709 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Right. Ok. I will.

Hey - I've missed you for the last few hours or so - where were you ?

I've been out to the pub since, and got back - just in time for round two !!


myLot reputation of 93/100. aslanlight (1622)  4 years ago

My CFS makes me very tired and I often sleep in the afternoons. I was too tired to come back on after I woke up so I watched a few films. Watched the original Oliver again, such an atmospheric film! Did you read my article on music?


myLot reputation of 84/100. GranTurismoGuru (163)   ranked 2,709 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Nope. Too much respect for you to try and read anything after having a beer. Will do so next time I strike up this laptop thingy.

Just taken a walk to the Cathedral (Salisbury). It's well lit, as you would expect, and there was choir practice going on - WHOW! Religions asside, these buildings are awesome aren't they.


myLot reputation of 93/100. aslanlight (1622)  4 years ago

I don't know, it might sound better after a beer! lol

And yes those buildings are awesome. When I'm better and get my bike on the road again I want to go and see Canterbury Cathedral.


myLot reputation of 84/100. GranTurismoGuru (163)   ranked 2,709 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

They say Canterbury Cathedral is magnificent - like Worcester Cathedral. Do it. Go and visit. Tell you what; I went on the tower tour of Salisbury Cathedral back last Christmas time - high or what!! Crikey me!! They let you outside at the base of the spire so that you can admire the view. Admire the view - I could see Australia, it was so high up! Phew!


myLot reputation of 93/100. aslanlight (1622)  4 years ago

I've wanted to go there since I saw that film, can't remember the title, something about the Pilgrims way perhaps, do you know of it?
