Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites

UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed 1986, located in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Stonehenge and Avebury, in Wiltshire, are among the most famous groups of megaliths in the world. The two sanctuaries consist of circles of menhirs arranged in a pattern whose astronomical significance is still being explored. These holy places and the nearby Neolithic sites are an incomparable testimony to prehistoric times.
