Are you looking for a sightseeing experience that is out of the ordinary? One of our Stonehenge coach tours from London may be just what you have been seeking. Stonehenge is arguably the most integral prehistoric monument in the whole of Britain, and a world heritage site. It is truly unique in its pervading mysticism. 40 tons of rocks have stood on Salisbury Hill for roughly 5,000 years.
You cannot help but be captivated by Stonehenge. It has an ancient history, yet the details as to its creation remain uncertain. Consequently the site has given rise to a myriad of speculation and contention. Many scholars now agree that it was likely to have been built in three stages. Yet theories abound as to why it was created, from the belief that it was used as a religious temple to claims it may even be a Bronze Age burial ground. See why it has generated such debate – take one of many Stonehenge tours available.
Stonehenge has captured the attention of many artists as well as scholars. JMW Turner and John Constable, among others, have attempted to capture some degree of its mystery in their art. Most memorably in fiction, it appeared at the close of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles. By legend, Boudicca was once believed to have been buried at Stonehenge.
Samuel Pepys wrote, in 1668, that the Stonehenge stones were ‘as prodigious as any tales I ever heard of them and worth going this journey to see. God knows what their use was.’ Make your own decision, or simply immerse yourself in the unrivalled magnificence Stonehenge possesses.
