Stonehenge
Mysterious and compelling,
Stonehenge is Great Britain’s
most iconic ancient site.
People have been drawn
to this myth-laden ring of
bluestones for the last 5000
years, and we still don’t know
quite why it was built. Come
up with your own theories
while gazing at massive
megaliths on Trip 17: The
Historic South, a voyage
which crosses the country
via a centuries-long timeline
through a captivating past.
