Stonehenge is arguably the most well-known prehistoric monument in the world, and certainly the best known in Europe. Listed among the wonders of the world, it is a symbol of neolithic life in an ancient landscape. The awe-inspiring 4,500-year-old stone circle is the highlight of a visit here. It’s difficult to imagine what it took to create this engineering wonder with only simple tools, but visitors can get a glimpse of what it was like to live during this era in the neolithic houses. The Standing in the Stones audiovisual demonstration allows guests to experience the summer and winter solstice at Stonehenge no matter what time of year they visit. Additional archaeological treasures from the era can be found on display at both the Salisbury and Wiltshire Museums.
