A lot of it is speculation, but it's still filled with facts and new data. Amazing stuff...!

Stonehenge is an amazing place - I'll be passing it next week, but you can't just stop and wander in like you could a few years back.  :(

It makes me cry to remember how I was excluded from my advanced reading group's trip to England just because I was far too young at the time (I was eleven, I believe, and everyone else was just a few years away from highschool!). They went to England and Iceland, and even to stonehenge. I was so envious that I would spend time in my bedroom crying after getting home from school :(

Indeed. Stonehenge is a fascinating place. It's a darn shame that you're not allowed to usually go among the stones. MOst of the time, you are only allowed to walk around it along a path that is about 5m away from the stones.
It also has the worst facilities I've ever seen at an English Heritage site. An outside cafe, a shop and that's it. I'm not sure it even had lavatories.

Still, if ever you pass by it, it's well worth seeing, just for the sake of seeing one of Britain's oldest manmade landmarks.
