Stonehenge, the awe-inspiring prehistoric monument, beckons us with its mysteries. But nestled nearby lies Lockeridge Dene, a tranquil woodland area that offers a surprising glimpse into Stonehenge's past.

Lockeridge Dene holds the key to a fascinating secret: it's believed to be the source of the sarsen stones, the massive grey pillars that form Stonehenge's outer circle. Imagine, the very stones you admire at Stonehenge could have come from this peaceful woodland! The proximity of these two sites and the presence of similar stones in the dene paint a compelling picture.

For visitors seeking a deeper connection to Stonehenge, Lockeridge Dene offers a unique experience. Unlike the meticulously maintained monument, the dene provides a more intimate encounter with history. Explore the peaceful woods and imagine prehistoric people quarrying these colossal stones millennia ago. As you wander the paths, ponder the methods employed and the immense effort involved in transporting them to Stonehenge. Here, you can go beyond simply gazing at the stones and truly contemplate the story they hold.

Lockeridge Dene offers a welcome contrast to Stonehenge as well. After marveling at the engineering marvel, immerse yourself in the serenity of the English countryside. Breathe in the fresh air, meander along the woodland paths, and pack a picnic lunch for a memorable experience.
