Can someone please be happy/laughing with me that Google Translate turns Amy's "henge and timber monument" into "Denkmal für Hühner 🐔" in German? - Great 😂😂😂

Location signage, that is, how to locate the cuckoo stone, is non-existent! Once you pass through the gate next to Woodhenge you’ll see the National Trust sign. The stone lies way off to your right at about 3 o’clock direction from the sign. If the grass is long it won’t be visible!

From this point, the sun will shine through a designated corridor on 21 June 2025

Great little walk with the dog

Nice playpark here to stop at with the children and brushes to cross over the river

No circus and no crowds like at Stonehenge. We were alone here and could look at everything in peace. On the other side of the road there are two rest areas for picnics with a beautiful view.

The building dates back to the Neolithic period.

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." This film can be found in the ARD media library at the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/stonehenge-grossbritannien-folge-16/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MjQ1ODkw

On the crest of this downland ridge is a Neolithic long barrow and around 40 Bronze Age round barrows, ancient burial grounds dating back to between 2600 and 1600 BC. Visible from Stonehenge around half a mile (0.6 km) to the north, Normanton Down Barrows have long been the subject of archaeological digs. Today they're a scheduled monument and part of the Avebury and Stonehenge World Heritage Site, so digs are strictly controlled.

Like the larger megaliths that make up the outer ring of Stonehenge, the Cuckoo Stone is a sarsen stone and was once a standing stone. It has since fallen but is still a familiar landmark and is part of the wider Stonehenge Landscape. It's believed that the Cuckoo Stone was the ceremonial centrepiece for several burials around 2000 BC.

This stretch of downland is particularly notable for its tumuli (ancient burial mounds) at Old King Barrows and New King Barrows. It's just a short walk from the town of Amesbury and the famous Stonehenge. There are around a dozen beautiful yew trees to see here, as well as oak, ash, hazel and larch.

Sometimes I can't believe what rubbish is used as a highlight.

There are refreshments and ice cream here, of course with the “Stonehenge” top supplement.

Outside the barrier, a path runs past Stonehenge, probably the most famous stone circle in the world. Hardly any other place is so shrouded in mystery and magically captivates visitors. Stonehenge is the symbol of mystical England, the epitome of all myths and legends and a highly recommended travel destination. A (paid) circular route leads around the stone circle of Stonehenge; with the help of an audio guide you can find out details about the history, construction work and the legend of Stonehenge.

I was actually expecting a lot more! Was a bit disappointed! Too many people, too much tam tam! The attached museum is quite good. However, I would not do this route again!
