Stonehenge

We left Bath and headed to the Salisbury Plain - beautiful scenery, it was sunny on the drive but the clouds moved in.   Stonehenge is a medival term meaing 'hanging stones', it was created in five stages between around 3000 BC and 1600 BC on the Salisbury Plain - a area devoid of trees since the last ice age.  The site is a bit raised and it was quite windy and halfway around the rain fell. You can't get too  close to the stones but it is a unique experience - we were among the first people on the day we went so it was nice to not have too many people around.

windy and cold - I have on four layers!
