Introduction
Stonehenge rises from the green swell of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire — a ring of Neolithic standing stones raised between about 3000 and 2000 BC. Tens-of-tonne sarsens, and bluestones hauled 250 km from Wales, still pose archaeology's greatest puzzle: how, and why, here? The monument's axis aligns precisely with the midwinter sunset, and scholars see a blend of calendar, temple and gathering place. Crows wheel over the grassland as the path from the visitor centre leads past the remains of Neolithic houses toward the stones — a slow walk into a 4,500-year-old ceremony. Britain's most iconic prehistoric site pairs naturally with nearby Woodhenge and Old Sarum for a fuller journey back in time.
