Welcome to Stonehenge

You We did a full day tour into the countryside to first visit Windsor and Windsor Castle, then on to Bath, and finally to Stonehenge. One very unusual aspect of this tour was that we had 50% Japanese guests on the bus that did not speak English so our guide had to repeat everything twice.   You will hear some of it on the video.

This was both overwhelming and underwhelming all in the same breath.  It is truly amazing what the people who built Stonehenge did at the time, but in the end it is a set of rocks built in a circle.   You only can walk around the outside of Stonehedge on marked paths.  Years ago they would let people wander among the stones, but in longer.
