Stonehenge, 2021

Our last stop before returning the rental car to Hertz was Stonehenge, which we hadn't visited since 2013, but had seen many times before. During COVID, the timed-entry tickets render the place relatively deserted, rather than over-run as in pre-COVID days, despite the actual edifice being outdoors. Still, with the new, improved English Heritage visitor center, gift shop, restaurant, shuttle, etc., it's not entirely an outdoor experience. But another great visit.

New (to us) visitor center

Village depicting how they (we) lived three or four millennia ago

How they moved the megaliths (some on rafts over many miles);
just considering the labor involved in felling and limbing trees 
for the roller logs always knocks me out; all the tools were either stones
or bones

Anyway, many helpful, informative exhibits, some traditional,
some multi-media...

English Heritage have done a fine job in limiting traffic and
access to the monument, except for having to leave one unpaved
access road open for the locals; RVers have discovered it and
exploited the opening...I guess we'd be there but for not having
a European camper anymore (sigh)

Way back in 2013, I thought I'd never again get a picture of
Stonehenge without the masses; not a problem this day; when we
first visited in 1979, you could walk among the stones and touch
them; not any more, since the 80s...unless you want to pay a
premium for an early or late privileged entrance 

Us, there
