Stonehenge is a must go place when in England. This iconic place is located about 90 minutes from central London and listed as an UNESCO World Heritage site. On the day that I visited it was rather cold (for the middle of summer) which is somewhat to be expected because the site sits on flat land in an open plain, and after all, it is the UK.
Nobody knows for sure why or when these ancient ruins were built, although learning about the different theories during my tour was informative and educational. In my Wellness courses we discuss spirituality as one of the dimensions of wellness, and Stonehenge’s spiritual significance cannot be underestimated.
During my travels abroad I am continually reminded that we should never be so quick to underestimate the capabilities of our ancient ancestors. Whether it be standing at top of the Sun Gate path at Machu Picchu or watching the sunset over Angkor Wat, Stonehenge is yet another striking example of the staggering scale of activity that was necessary to complete enormous tasks with mere simple tools.
