Steeped in spirituality, this prehistoric stone circle on the Salisbury Plain has long been a place of pilgrimage. While the monument’s mysteries endure, it’s generally accepted that the stones served as sacred places of ceremony and ritual. Carefully placed to line up with the movements of the sun, the stones are the focal point of neo-Pagan celebrations for the summer and winter solstice. The whole landscape is riddled with mystical prehistoric sites, including the arguably more awe-inspiring Avebury Stone Circle.
