I visited Stonehenge about 15 years ago, and Rosemary (she goes by Romy) was my tour guide; I bought her book. It was one of the best days of touring I’ve ever had, as we went to nearby Salisbury and toured the magnificent cathedral there.

Good find!!!

One other thing. She told us that the stones which form Stonehenge were not locally quarried, but rather probably came from the sea cliffs in Pembrokeshire, Wales, then were probably taken by crude log floats around the southern coast of Britain to a river called Avon, then floated up this river to a point three miles south of Stonehenge, where they were then dragged, probably by slave labor, to their current position. She also indicated that the stones line up with sunrise on the summer solstice.

Stonehenge is 9 miles north of Salisbury. You take a train from London Waterloo station; the trip takes about 90 minutes. Several tour companies are located right outside the station. Ask around for Romy.
