Trip Day 32 – Stonehenge

It is a sunny day that sees me venture off towards the midlands, in anticipation of visiting Stonehenge. The road out of Bath winds into the hills and it is not long before the farmland fields open around me. After about 1 1/2 hours of driving I have reached my destination with Stonehenge looming large in the field on my right as I make my way into the packed car park. The entry fee give me access to a free audio guide which is very informative, the first pearl of wisdom is that henge in old english means hanging so really Stonehenge is the hanging stones.

Unfortunately the crowd is now no longer able to walk up and touch the stones, but despite this there if you still want to touch the stones there is a sarson and blue stone positioned at the exit. The crowds keep coming all day as I stop to have a bit to eat for lunch, which includes a delicious cheese scone.

The afternoon sees me driving across the midlands, the countryside is very similar to Victoria with rolling field of grassing country and evening finds me completing the circle with a stay back in Ely
