Let me start by telling you a secret... it is NOT really a HENGE (the shock and horror).
According to Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henge, "There are three related types of Neolithic earthwork that are all sometimes loosely called henges. The essential characteristic of all three types is that they feature a ring bank and ditch, but with the ditch inside the bank rather than outside."
The ditch at Stonehenge, is outside the structure thus making it NOT a henge :)
There are so many other wonderful facts about the structure (it has been around for thousands of years) and though there is not much to see on that one site in Amersbury, it is well worth the visit. At the time of my visit I was unaware of another structure nearby known as WOODHENGE which is about 2 miles away and is a true henge so you can probably include that in your visit.
These are a few pictures I took of Stonehenge and it's surroundings. As always, hope you enjoy, leave comments and feel free to subscribe to my Blog, Google+ and Youtube
