I think your negative reaction to Stonehenge is understandable, and one I hear from a lot of people.

It is a site surrounded by anger and conflict, and it is therefore very hard to form a real link with the place. I only came to love Stonehenge when I got to spend a few minutes in the stones totally alone, at the start of my Stonehenge to Avebury walk in 2000.

A few weeks ago I got another few minutes inside the stones on my own and promptly realised I was going to propose to my partner! But though it was a good place to have the thought, it wasn't the place to do the actual proposal, though I did start to, such is its contradictory nature.

She said yes by the way...when I actually got round to it later that day at the Chalice Well in Glastonbury.
