Stonehenge

We dont just offer London Sightseeing Tours... Stonehenge is one of the most important prehistoric monument in the whole of the UK and has attracted visitors from earliest times. It stands as a timeless monument to the people who built it. The stonehenge that is seen today is the final stage that was completed about 3500 years ago, so lets look back 5000 years. The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork or Henge, comprising a ditch, bank, and the Aubrey holes, all probably built around 3100 BC. The Aubrey holes are round pits in the chalk, they are about one metre wide and deep have steep sides and flat bottoms. They form a circle about 284 feet in diameter. Excavations have revealed cremated human bones in some of the chalk filling, but the holes themselves were probably made, not for the purpose of graves, but as part of the religious ceremony. Shortly after this stage Stonehenge was abandoned, left untouched for over 1000 years. So to find out more why not check out our Stonehenge Tour.
