Stonehenge

Filed in archive UK Travel on August 12, 2008

There are many people who claim to feel "intense mystical vibrations" while visiting Stonehenge. Call me shallow, but having twice visited the 3,000 year old famous Druid rock pile, all I feel is a sense of outrage about the $13 admission price and the $6 parking fee. True, the parking fee is refunded with your admission price, but considering the fact that the area immediately surrounding the stones is now roped off, you might want to consider parking on the road and viewing it from outside the fence. That said, Stonehenge is definitely worth seeing, provided that you don't expect something monumental. It's on the par with visiting Plymouth Rock, which is basically a stone.
