Explore the Celtic Mysteries of Stonehenge with the History Channel
In partnership with the History Channel, delve into the enigmatic legacy of Stonehenge, Britain’s most iconic prehistoric monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Dating back over 5,000 years to 3000 BC, this awe-inspiring stone circle stands as a testament to the ingenuity and beliefs of ancient Celtic communities. Aligned with the rising midsummer sun, Stonehenge was likely a ceremonial site, possibly used for sun worship or as a sophisticated astronomical calendar. Its construction required remarkable engineering skills, with some stones transported from as far as South Wales, symbolizing the immense dedication of its builders.
Set amidst a landscape of ceremonial structures, Stonehenge continues to captivate historians and archaeologists. While its exact purpose remains a mystery, its significance as a sacred site and astronomical marvel persists, inspiring awe in all who visit.
Notes: Travel time is two hours each way. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Stone Circle access is from a distance. Audio guides available for download. A short shuttle bus ride from the Visitor Center takes you to the Stone Circle. Your time at the stones is unguided.
