Travel: Stonehenge

As promised, here are the photos from my trip to the Stonehenge. I think the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy and I hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend.

Round barrows or flat graves near and around the Stonehenge

Let's rest and enjoy the yellow fields of Canola

Sheep herd near the Stonehenge

Sheep and modern cars in harmony?

I found the English country side peaceful and charming

More Canola flowers in bloom

Seeing the Stonehenge

What is it's purpose?

A beautiful parting view - a dream come true

  1. How far is downtown London to the Stonehenge?

    I'm dreamed more of visiting Ireland than England, but since London is my destination this coming September, not sure if I'll have the time to see Ireland. Have lots of Irish friends and they're prodding me to go there, hope they were not drunk when I'm being pushed to visit their country. Ireland fascinates me.

    Any quick infos on Hotel accomodations? How's London anyways?

  3. no pastoral scene feels complete without a flock of sheep dotting the scenery :)

    as for the Stonehenge, someday i hope to view this amazing wonder with my own eyes and marvel about the primal forces that prompted those folks to build it

  4. Angeli, Yes, it was such an experience.

    Trublue, I joined a tour in seeing the Stonehenge, but I heard from Downtown to the Stonehenge you can take the train and it's probably going to be an hour and a half to get there.

    Actually, Ireland was my first choice, but my cousin in London begged for a visit...lol. As for hotels, I stayed in the Bayswater area which is very close to Hyde Park and the good thing about this area is that transportation is walking distance. Bayswater has a mixture of 5 stars to budget hotel. It depends on what you're looking for.

    kg, Have a wonderful week as well.

    onyxx, yes, when you have the chance, do visit the Stonehenge.
