On a journey from our place to or from London, we pass #Stonehenge on the #A303 and the traffic is almost always jammed there as the site is of historical and archaeological importance. It is afforded #UNESCO #WorldHeritage status. As the weather war fine, I decided for an impromptu visit as the journey is not one I undertake very often and who know when the weather conditions would be this good again. There were actually hundreds if not thousands of tourists there comprising people of all ages and numerous nationalities. Many were happy like us to walk the roughly 2 km journey from the visitors' centre but shuttle buses were also going up and down the stretch of road. It's a little unfortunate that you can only get within about 50 m of the #monument but it's still impressive.

This is a view looking approximately north west.

This is looking roughly south west with the #Sun centred above the stones and the monument in silhouette.
