Stonehenge
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Stonehenge is a pre-historic monument in County Wiltshire in Southwestern England. The famous ring of stones, estimated to be 4-5,000 years old, is one of the most recognized and important cultural sites in the United Kingdom. The purpose and precise construction date(s) of Stonehenge continue to be matters of some debate. Contributor Mikee1554 used a drone to create this amazing aerial view of the ruins, which were the setting for the climax of Thomas Hardy's 1891 classic novel Tess of the D'Urbevilles.

Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. It was built in several stages: the first monument was an early henge monument, built about 5,000 years ago, and the unique stone circle was erected in the late Neolithic period about 2500 BC. In the early Bronze Age many burial mounds were built nearby. Today, along with Avebury, it forms the heart of a World Heritage Site, with a unique concentration of prehistoric monuments.
