Explore Stonehenge & its Landscape

 Stonehenge stands as a timeless testimony to the people who built it, between 3000BC and 1500BC. An amazing feat of engineering and arguably the most sophisticated stone circle in the world, it remains a mystery.

The surrounding landscape is also fascinating. It contains huge prehistoric monuments, stretching over several kilometres like the Avenue and the Cursus, massive earthwork enclosures like Durrington Walls and the North Kite, and hundreds of burial mounds.

Most of these earthen monuments have been eroded away and often, only traces remain above ground. The Stonehenge World Heritage Site Interactive Map helps you discover this unique prehistoric landscape. 

In the map, you can click on the monuments and you will find a brief description together with photos, reconstruction drawings, panoramic views, virtual walks and video clips of aerial views.

In the map's time travel section, you will have access to a timeline, a map showing the prehistoric periods when the monuments were built and more information about prehistoric burial mounds and funerary rites. There is also a timeline that indicates the approximate period of construction and modification of the monuments around Stonehenge.

This interactive map was funded by the New Opportunity Fund and created by Oxford ArchDigital in April 2004. It was produced in collaboration between the Stonehenge WHS Coordinator, the English Heritage web team, and the Wiltshire County Council project Window On Wiltshire.
