Summer Solstice at Stonehenge
If you visit England, Stonehenge in Wiltshire is a must see! It is a World Heritage site and narrowly missed out on becoming one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World". It is one of the oldest man-made structures in the world and just has this a magic feeling about the place. In my opinion the ONLY time to go is the eve of the Summer Solstice when you can actually get close to the stones. If you can put up with (or even enjoy) lots of hippies and a very random mix of people, the constantly pounding drums and the (more recent) commercial aspect (burger vans etc) then nothing comes close to watching the sun rise on the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge. Have a little of your poison of choice or just get high on the atmosphere! Rest your back against an stone pillar that was erected 4000 years ago on a site that has been used by humans for 10000 years, surrounded by thousands of people all there to celebrate something that has been celebrated by man for millennia. The manner of the celebrations may have evolved as time has passed, but you can feel that this is something man has been doing long before we thought about Christmas or any other religious celebration. Visit Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice and experience a unique mix of the modern and the ancient! This year Summer Solstice is on 21st June, so the celebrations are over the night of Friday 20th June - See you there! |
