The Wiltshire - West Wales connection!

OK so this is the nearest you will ever get to an educational blip from me! ;-)

The standing stone in the distance is a Preseli Hills bluestone. It has long been suspected that these stones, from Pembrokeshire in West Wales, helped build the famous Stonehenge monument in Wiltshire. Recent research claims to confirm this.

In April 2000 a plan to replicate the 240-mile journey of a giant stone from West Wales to Salisbury Plain, by land and sea, using only muscle power and the technology of the ancients, ended in disaster, when the stone sank in Milford Haven estuary!

Why or how these enormous, heavy stones were transported so far is therefore still a mystery. I guess some things are done out of dedication, belief, or love.....and obstacles and practicalities just don't figure :)

I have never visited Stonehenge, but given that there will forever be the Wiltshire - West Wales connection, I really should make the effort and pay a visit one of these days! :)

Have a great evening XxX
