Aza Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Anybody visited this place? Went to visit my dad recently over Xmas & went via StoneHenge. Bit of a dissapointment because of the fog, nevertheless a great site. Quadrant this is a place of English Heritage & no doubt highly regarded by yourself, no? Such fascinating history especially as their true purpose is not fully understood nor the way they were built. Those huge rocks put into place 2500 BC, no technology. Deffo recommend to you guys, except the £6 admission fee is a bit of a skank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 What? They charge you to go 'in'? I remember walking up to the stones and there being no fence! (No, I'm not as old as the stones themselves :wink: ) It is amazing how they got the stones to sit like that, but they didn't have PCs or PS2s then to otherwise occupy themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KR Tech Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It's smaller than you think, the ring of stones, but I find it fascinating how on Earth they placed the top ones up there, because they apparently weigh a couple of tons!

Quadrant Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Quadrant this is a place of English Heritage & no doubt highly regarded by yourself, no? I have never been there! Would love to go, preferably on a misty morning for some atmosphere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
