Been thinking about Stonehenge a lot since visiting, and I'm of the opinion (I'm sure many will disagree) that the experience isn't as bad as it's usually made out to be.
For one thing, the stones weren't built - or used, so far as we can tell - by a handful of people.
Having a couple of hundred people on the perimeter, kept away from the stones and looking in, is probably closer to the prehistoric experience of it than popular imagination would expect.
