I've been to Stonehenge 3 times. Normally, you cannot get close to the stones, but English Heritage gives me permission to walk through the stones when I am in England, and to take as much time as I want. I placed an English coin in the ground near each of the stones. There is another larger stone circle a few miles away in Avebury. The stones are smaller but the henge is much bigger and open to the public to walk through them. Stonehenge is masculine and Avebury is more feminine or so they say. A great pub in Avebury on the edge of the stone circle.
