Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England

Stonehenge—part ancient marvel, part prehistoric riddle. Standing proudly on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, this stone circle has intrigued historians, archaeologists and curious travellers for centuries. But what is it? A celestial calendar? A burial site? A gathering place for ancient ceremonies? While we may never have all the answers, Stonehenge certainly rocks the imagination.
