This past weekend I got to go on a trip through the school to see Avebury and Stonehenge! It was a really interesting trip, and was surprised to find out that Avebury actually had more stones and was much larger than Stonehenge. It also had a quant city around it with a Church, haunted pub and museum. Stonehenge was interesting as well, and I can officially say that I have now seen one of the Seven Wonders of the World (medieval mind category)! While no one is sure why either sites was built, the consensus seems to be that it was part of some sort of Stone Age ritual. (I actually prefer theories involving aliens, but that's just me...)
