A mound of bluestone at Woodhenge.

The wooden posts have been replaced with concrete. There were 6 concentric rings to line up with the summer solstice.

People lived here around 2,500 BCE. They probably helped build Stonehenge.

I'd remembered Stonehenge as being much larger and in the middle of a field. Perhaps a city grew up around the site?

Examples of houses as they might have appeared 4,500 years ago.

How the sarcen stones might have been moved. It would have taken a lot of people to move a stone

This Great Bustard, named Gertrude, migrates to the Stonehenge site each year, but prefers people to the other migrating bustards.

The site was closed and only about 20 people were allowed in.

First we spent some time outside the inner circle.

We had hoped for sun, but were satisfied with no rain.

These were all shaped by hand with stone tools.

As long as we didn't touch the stones, we could wander freely.
