I've always wanted to see Stonehenge - the idea that something erected by humans 4,600 years ago still exists blows my mind. Btw, the Egyptians were starting the whole Pyramid program around the same time - it seems that the early English were going for a more rustic look.
Since I'm not likely to be in Wiltshire any time soon, I'm really glad that the Google Maps guys got out there. Even better, Google got permission from the National Trust of Britain to actually map through the circle. It's obviously nothing like being there in person, but it's pretty cool all the same.
Check this link for a virtual walk through the stones and learn more about them from Wikipedia here.
