βThose stones we had drive so far to see remained out of our vision. Weβd both expected the formation to be visible from miles away and we were both surprised that we hadnβt spotted it on the drive over, especially as we passed Salisbury Plain. [...] We both agreed that it was a lot smaller than we had anticipated. In every photo or video weβd seen, these stones look huge. Perhaps it was a matter of perspective, as we looked one from the perimeter fence. These stones, although not small in any sense, seemed to be so very close together.β
βAs I got off the shuttle bus and walked up the final path to the stones, I immediately felt something distinctly mystical. As the stones came into view, it seemed as if the people disappeared and I was in the setting of a Fantasy novel. That was surprising, considering the amount of tourists surrounding me.β
βWe visited Stonehenge on Jenn's second visit to England, driving to the magnificent city of Bath first, before stopping by Stonehenge on our way back to what was then our home in Bedford. [...] Unfortunately, we were unable to go to the centre, as it had been sealed off from the public due to vandalism and erosion, but the view from the outer walkway is still spectacular.β
