This trail takes you right past Stonehenge and is utterly breathtaking. From this spot, you get almost as close to the Neolithic monument as paying guests do. Stonehenge is a World Heritage Site and is one of the most recognisable prehistoric monuments in the world. Getting so close to the stones is an unforgettable experience.

A television series that I can wholeheartedly recommend presents the culture-loving viewer (in German) with remarkable examples of human activity from many countries around the world. What they all have in common is that they have been given "world heritage" status by UNESCO. One of the contributions documents the ancient and still mysterious stone circle of Stonehenge.
The accompanying documentary states: "The Salisbury plateau in southern England is a rough and uninviting area, where a cold and cutting wind often blows. Around 5,000 years ago, in the Neolithic period, people lived here, about whom we know very little. But what they and subsequent generations left behind is impressive beyond measure: the stone circles and burial mounds of the megalithic culture."
