Visiting STONEHENGE

In this Video, my friend Dodie and I are taking a Road Trip to Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire to visit the World-Renowned Prehistoric Structure of Stonehenge. Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BCE to around 2000 BCE. The surrounding circular Earth Bank which constitute the earliest phase of the Neolithic Monument have been dated to about 3100 BCE. I apologise for some of the sound quality as it was very windy around the Monument.

I can't bring myself to go to the visitors centre . Thank you .

[@greyfeather7857]

As many of our generation did I visited the henge as a child. My dad lived in Salisbury and we were able to walk amongst the stones and touch them. A lovely memory to cherish. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@phyllisweaving13]

I went to the free festivals back in the 70'sand was surprised at how small it felt. Once wild camped at woodhenge, nothing for me. But Avebury is always like coming home.

[@MarqEnglish]

Yes, Avebury is my Home away from Home. Woodhenge is the next Video.

[@KoreanWalker777]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful walking tour.

[@MarqEnglish]

You're welcome.

[@MrNas42]

Thanks so much for that Marq. Your's is the first video I've seen of the new visitor centre and the new approach to the monument. I'm not sure if Stonehenge can now be classed as one of the world's biggest disappointments. I don't think I've ever met anyone who, on visiting it for the first time, found it met with their expectations. I've not been since the closure of the old road and the building of the visitor centre and it is likely that I never will again. If and when the road tunnel gets built, then i'll never see it again either. The Avebury complex wins every time for me as a visitor experience.

[@MarqEnglish]

It was nice to visit and we had a good time but Avebury always wins hands down.

[@DannyTP1888]

Thanks Marq, another great video. I've never visited Stonehenge but past it literally hundreds of times heading to Devon and Cornwall.

[@MarqEnglish]

Thanks Danny, stop off next time you are down that way.

[@nancynoo]

The last time I visited Stonehenge was as a teenager when you could walk amongst and touch the stones. It seems over commercialised now, and sad that you are now herded around the edge like sheep. However, with its huge popularity, I understand why the stones are protected.

[@MarqEnglish]

Yes, I vaguely recall walking withj the Stones as a child.

[@neilmancini9571]

hi marq. another great video . i'm with you on Avebury having more connection to me than Stonehenge ,but still a great site . great weather for your video,and with your friend from Swallow head video too. cheers buddy.

[@MarqEnglish]

Thanks Neil, yes I just find Avebury a much more powerful place/

[@fastsetinthewest]

VOBES sent me. I live near Fort Worth, Texas. Nice video. Eaglegards...

[@MarqEnglish]

Thank you. Love to Texas.

I was stationed near there in the fifties, and mixed with military and civvies.. I was in tech library with a gentleman called Mr Booth, an amateur archaeologist he was trying to get permission to dig Stonehenge believing it to be a burial site. He also taught me how to dowse along a hall way, and to mark on the floor where I got responses.. I did and all the marks corresponded with water pipes, he used a special type of dowsing tool with copper wire and washers.

[@MarqEnglish]

That is fascinating Peter, as a long time Dowser, it is amazing what can be picked up.

[@PortsladeBySea]

I remember years ago being able to walk and sit between the stones and being allowed to touch them, but I fully appreciate the security implications. Did you do any Dowsing whilst at Stonehenge? Beautiful part of English heritage 👍

[@MarqEnglish]

Only did a bit of Dowsing around the Heel Stone.

[@ramibu239]

Stonehenge is a place (as an American) I have always wanted to visit. We just don't have anything like it here in the US - unless you count Foamhenge in Georgia & the smaller stone version of it built on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge (Marysville I think?). Shame to see it so commercialized, but as a huge of tourist destination that it is I am not surprised!!🙄

[@MrNas42]

Many find Stonehenge a big disappointment Lisa. Viewed as one small part of a huge landscape, then it has some significance. However the whole 'Stonehenge Landscape' is too huge to get your head around, with so many small, subtle monuments littering a vast area. A great research project though! Avebury has fewer, but generally larger and 'chunkier' monuments distributed over a slightly smaller area to satisfy the casual visitor.

[@MarqEnglish]

@@MrNas42 I'd say always go to Avebury as much more impressive.

[@MrGreatplum]

Great video although the highlight was Marq’s hair 😆 In all seriousness, I’ve never much fancied going - I’ve driven past loads of times (I went to uni in Exeter) but the idea of walking round it from a great distance with thousands of others just doesn’t float my boat!

[@MarqEnglish]

Go to Avebury instead. All open access.

[@streetrambler134]

looked like you had a better day for seeing Stonehenge, high wind and rain was not fun walking to the stones and filming for me.

[@MarqEnglish]

Yes, it's a bit exposed isn't it on Salisbury Plain.

[@cynthiapate9138]

Thank you for a wonderful walk. Do you think that Avebury feels better is because you can actually touch the stones?

[@MarqEnglish]

I personally just feel a greater energy at Avebury. I don;t feel anything at Stonehenge,

[@cynthiapate9138]

Marq English I have only been to Stonehenge 3 times, but I felt nothing any time I was there. Disappointing to me. Avebury is wonderful though.
