Stone Circle
A walk around the Stone Circle is the centrepiece of any visit to the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site.
With a history spanning 4,500 years Stonehenge has many different meanings to people today. It is a wonder of the world, a spiritual place and a source of inspiration.
The Stone Circle is a masterpiece of engineering, and building it would have taken huge effort from hundreds of well-organised people using only simple tools and technologies. Visit Stonehenge to find out more about this iconic symbol of Britain.
LIVE! SEE THE SKIES ABOVE STONEHENGE
Experience the skies above the iconic stone circle wherever you are with our Skyscape website. Learn about the movements of the sun, moon and planets and see the solar alignment at Stonehenge.
Aside from the technical and informational aspects of Skyscape, it’s also our hope that you’ll enjoy it as a small escape — a pleasant place to visit, to which you can return frequently, even within a single day, and connect with the land, the stones, and the skies above.
