To access Stonehenge you have to park across the road, and a little down from it. Then you go into the visitor center, with the inevitable gift shop, and you go through an underground tunnel. You can’t go close enough to touch the stones, you have to stay on a walking path around the stones.
We also found one of the small Stonehenge’s in the Cotswold countryside. That was very cool! They say that if you try to count the stones there, you will not come up with the same number twice. Something to do with the magnetic field disrupting your concentration. I tried it, and gave up! LOL
Love that! Yes, last show I saw on Stonehenge made it pretty clear you can no longer go anywhere near the stones. And, that’s probably smart, preservation-wise.
That’s OK. I climbed to the top of one of the ‘pyramids’ in Chichen Itza, MX back in the day. Touching something that had been around since 550 was pretty darn amazing, too!
Don’t ever play ‘football’ with a Mayan, though. You could lose your head. Maybe your heart, too! ;)
