The monument we see today still inspires awe and admiration. Stonehenge attracts some 800,000 visitors a year and on the summer Solstice, thousands of people gather to watch the sunrise.

Although thousands of years older than the Druids, the stone circle witnessed many druidic ceremonies, especially during the 19th century.

Today, much work goes on behind the scenes to ensure that Stonehenge and its unique prehistoric landscape are protected for future generations. English Heritage and the National Trust play a key role in this respect.
