Curious American Wanderers offers the Top 5 Insider Tips For Getting The Most Of Your Visit To Stonehenge.

Why visit Stonehenge? Because it’s an iconic image in art, music, and literature, and holds a rare position as an instantly recognizable symbol of Britain. And because it's one of the oldest man-made structures on the planet, it’s always fun to see something this iconic, with your very own eyes.

Although many claim to be authorities about its origin, the simple fact is that no one really knows why it was built or how it was used. Which is just another reason why there is so much mystery surrounding Stonehenge.

Our Top 5 Tips Include:
1- Do some pre-visit research (we have some suggestions)
