Woodhenge

Highlight • Monument

Lying within the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, Woodhenge is a Neolithic Class II henge and timber circle monument. It wasn't discovered until 1926 when a pilot took an aerial photo of the area. The monument was probably built around 2300 BC as a large burial mound.

The site is managed by English Heritage and free to visit. You can visit anytime during daylight hours. More information: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/woodhenge

King Barrow Ridge Bronze Age Burial Mounds

Highlight • Viewpoint

This stretch of downland is particularly notable for its tumuli (ancient burial mounds) at Old King Barrows and New King Barrows. It's just a short walk from the town of Amesbury and the famous Stonehenge. There are around a dozen beautiful yew trees to see here, as well as oak, ash, hazel and larch.

Cuckoo Stone

Highlight • Monument

Like the larger megaliths that make up the outer ring of Stonehenge, the Cuckoo Stone is a sarsen stone and was once a standing stone. It has since fallen but is still a familiar landmark and is part of the wider Stonehenge Landscape. It's believed that the Cuckoo Stone was the ceremonial centrepiece for several burials around 2000 BC.
