Stonehenge on an overcast summer day.  The structure was constructed from 3050 BC to 1500 BC, beginning with a large, circular ditch and bank (or henge).  A wooden structure was later constructed at the center, only to be later replaced by the current stone structure (which itself was arranged and re-arranged over a thousand-year period).   Click here for help in planning your England vacation.
