World Mysteries - Stonehenge

StonehengeStonehengeLocated near Salisbury, England this megalithic structure is over 3,000 years old and its stones coming all the way from Wales. Scholars still are not sure how they got the stones from Wales and have tried to replicate the feat with dismal results. The attraction is now fenced off and you can no longer go into the circle. Visitors now can only walk around the attraction. It’s worth visiting for the mystery behind it and the really good audio tour.
