Did you know that henge means hanging which gives the literal meaning of this pile of rocks "hanging stones". They are really quite imposing once you get close to them. Again we took the audio tour which gave numerous accounts for the origens and purpose of the henge. Sarah and I decided we liked the verion that had Merlin the magician fly the stones over from Ireland where the giants had brought them from Africa. He did this because King Arthur's father wanted something to honor his valiant soldiers. Improbable you say? You didn't hear some of the other options! (photos to come - just cant get good uploads in England!)
