mars68 loves Stonehenge because it is a must for anyone interested in history. Saw it years ago when I was kid, and still can vividly remember the experience. Saw Stonehenge back when you could still walk among the stones. One of those places in the world that you MUST visit.

About Stonehenge
tnt from USA wrote about Stonehenge 4 years, 10 months ago
A good guide makes the rocks come alive and the hills dance. Guided bus tours can be had, leaving from Salisbury every hour, no reservation needed.

Go early in the morning so you can just sit and contemplate the stones before the crowds come. Or stay late and watch the stones glow in the sunset. Can't be beaten for a meditation spot.

jussi from Finland wrote about Salisbury Cathedral 4 years, 9 months ago
Salisbury wasn't the most inspiring destination I've been to for a business trip. However, I had some free time and was told that the cathedral is the town's main sight. And I'm glad I listened: the cathedral was grand. It's surrounded by a nice park and the tall spire built about 700 years ago makes the setting memorable. The cathedral is also the home of the best conserved copy of the original Magna Carta.
