Druids

One rumoured origin of Stonehenge is that it was built by druids. Druids were known to be influential beings that celebrated the solstice which Stonehenge has been said to be built for. Regardless, even if the druids were not the cause of Stonehenge and the surrounding structures in England, they are a part of the Stonehenge history.

Many events and rituals are held at Stonehenge today, including ceremonial modern day druid gatherings and all manner of spiritual celebrations. For now, Stonehenge remains a mystery to be speculated and explored but its unique energy can only be experienced in person.

Explore The Mystery

There is a lot of speculation around why Stonehenge was built. Some say that it was built as a hunting ground and for feasting, with construction of Stonehenge dating back over 10, 000 years ago. “The Pipers Stones” is another common name for Stonehenge, as it is theorized that the stones were put there to block the sound of music in specific directions in order to lure in maidens. It is also said that these large stones were used in a similar fashion to church bells as a place of worship. Whichever the case, it is best experienced in person.

Experience Surrounding Historical Sites

There are many other structures and monuments in the surrounding area of Stonehenge, and more recently it has been discovered that there are underground tunnels nearby. Among these wonders is a burial ground thought to have been used to bury great leaders. Within Stonehenge itself you will find history of Romans, Celtics, druids, and the first world war.
