Stonehenge
is the oldest monument in Europe. Scientists believe that the
structure, built by Neolithic Man, is dedicated to the understanding
of the stars. Located on Salisbury Plain, it is an awesome place
of mystery and myth. Salisbury, a pretty market town, boasts the
highest spire of any cathedral in the UK and is a pretty market
town with many interesting shops.

Plan
for the day
|
First
stop, Stonehenge. The monument at Stonehenge is a World Heritage
Site. It is 5000 years old and bears testimony to the great understanding
our ancestors had of the stars. Located on the open, rolling landscape
of Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge will capture your imagination. Learn
about Neolithic cultures and marvel at their ability to bring the
lintel stones over 400km from South Wales to complete what scientists
believe to be an astronomical temple. Take the audio guided tour
of the site. Then on to Salisbury, with its wonderful cathedral
housing
the best remaining copy of the Magna Carta in existence before
making the journey back to Cambridge. |
