— Rich history
The History of Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a megalithic circle on Salisbury Plain which dates back over 5,000 years. It was built in stages over many decades, with the stone circle dating from around 2500 BC in the late Neolithic period. Fascinatingly, Stonehenge is actually connected to an impressive expanse of prehistoric sites across Wiltshire.
For thousands of years, people have debated about this breathtaking Neolithic site’s mysterious past. Folklore claims Stonehenge was conjured by Merlin, the famous wizard of Arthurian legend. The stones were said to have been magically transported from giants in Ireland. Others have claimed that, when the Vikings invaded England, the invading Danes erected the stones. The leading modern day interpretations are that it is either a holy site or a scientific observatory.
