"A reminder of a lost civilisation", reminds Lonely Planets, "who once walked the many ceremonial avenues across Salisbury Plain". Stonehenge is "one of the most important prehistoric sites", and "also still one of Britain's great archaeological mysteries". Unfortunately, today, due to the heavy traffic which surrounds it and past conflicts between "solstice-goers and police", it has been described as a "national disgrace" by a "government department". The Lonely Planet Guide tells us that "plans are afoot to reinvent the Stonehenge experience". It is classed as a World Heritage site.
That said, the guide reassures us by saying that "Stonehenge still manages to be a mystical, ethereal place", having attracted "pilgrims, poets and philosophers for the last 5000 years". This "ancient ring of monolithic stones" has had "countless theories about what the site was used for", " in truth no one really knows".
