I used to play on Maiden Castle as a kid and occasionally Maumbury Rings, but only really thought of them as playgrounds...
As an adult I think a day trip to Avebury with an exes parents when I was at university in the late 90s was my first circle. But buying TMA in september 2001, was what opened the floodgates...

I used to get taken to Stonehenge every year without fail, en route to the family holiday in Bounemouth. Also visited Nine Ladies in Derbyshire (again on a family day out) when I was young, and have vague memories of it having some horrendous wall surrounding it.

Visits to sites really kicked off though after getting hold of a copy The Modern Antiquarian during a holiday in Glastonbury in 1999. We made a trip out to Avebury the next day, and visiting old stones has been an obsession ever since!
