Stonehenge,
Wiltshire, UK
The prehistoric monument is Britain's most
incredible wonder and arguably the most mystical rock formation in the world.
Set just outside of Salisbury, Wiltshire, one of the UK's most historic
towns, it was built in several stages.
An early henge monument was built about 5,000 years ago, with the stone circle
erected around 2500 BC. The as-yet-unsolved mystery of how the giant stones
came to be transported to the Salisbury Plains only adds to its intrigue.
Alongside the nearby prehistoric remains of Avebury, Stonehenge earned its
UNESCO World Heritage status in 1986.
