• National Grid is a page looking at how to convert the ordnance survey grid references into other coordinates, and use them to access the same locations in other mapping and aerial photography sites like Google Maps. You can also convert it to a postcode. You may also find this useful if you want to use a Satnav to get you near to the location using the postcode or exactly there using the latitude and longitude. This page also has links to gazetteers, and some other information that may make finding places easier. It also explains a little about the mapping system and maps available.

Stonehenge -  Wiltshire world famous and unique, very much on the tourist trail.

Avebury - Wiltshire the largest and most spectacular, popular with tourists, but less restrictions and being such a large site, you don't notice the numbers.

Stanton Drew - Somerset second largest after Avebury, not visited by many, you are likely to be on your own when visiting, far more natural and not reconstructed. 3 circles including very large circle, and one with very large stones, an avenue, another feature with large stones, a small circle and another group of stones conveniently situated in the garden of a pub nearby. The main circle has its own magnetic field. This site is easy to get to, but you will find you spend a lot longer here then you expect to.
