Stonehenge was erected between 3,000 BC and 1,600 BC by no less than three different cultures and its orientation on the rising and setting sun has always been one of its remarkable features.Stonehenge has recently been voted 'Britain's Best Historic Site' by viewers of the UK TV History Channel and voted as the UK's top wonder in a new list of the country's unmissable attractions. The ancient site beat competition from other notable UK landmarks to top the survey of the 'Seven Wonders of Britain'. Admission to Stonehenge is not compulsory and is not included in the price.
