Not Stonehenge, but in the same country. This is the largest stone circle in the world and is especially cool cause you can walk right up to the stones and touch them.
Correct! I would highly recommend a visit. We went here and walked around the circle. It was great to be able to get up close to the stones. There are even sheep that graze all around it. Afterwards we headed over to Stonhenge but got there after it closed, so we could only look at it through the fence. That was disappointing. But since you have to stay within the roped paths on the site I was really glad we went to Avebury first.
After a while you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn't mean learning and company doesn mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeat with your head up and you eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all you roads on today
because tomorrow ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong, And you really do have worth.

May I guess Stonehenge? (However I thought you cannot go so close to the stones... So I might be wrong... :()
