Hello, I love visiting ancient places. I haven't been to Callanish yet, but on my to do list as well as Avebury, have you been there?
I haven't been to any abroad, well ampitheatres in Turkey. In England visited Arbor Low, Nine Ladies many times, also Long Meg, Gors Fawr, Nine Stone Close(Grey Ladies), Doll Tor, Castle Rigg. I think it's fascinating!
A good site for ancient places information is (not just stone circles):
www.megalithicportal.co.uk and Julian Copes Modern Antiquarian(the book called this is excellent and full of information) website.

http://www.megalithic.co.uk/ - this is the correct megalithic portal web address 🙂
thanks all, we re not alone!
ahah Caroline I was laughing at your reply!! well when I go next on my Indiana Jones adventure I shall post on this forum to let you know! (hey why dont HP members get together to organize some trip?)
Cis, Menorca sounds beautiful, I really want to go.
I forgot to mention I also visited prehistory sanctuaries in France such as the Gargas and the Niaux caves in the pyrennees and some other Dordogne caves with carvings or paintings in them. Gargas is THE sanctuary, I cant even start to describe it, and when I think of modern people who wouldnt suspect a thing about how deeply spiritual people were more than 20 000 years ago.: the painted hands, the giant vagina, the animals......a famous Goddess statue was found in that pyrenees region dating from 25 000 before present.
thanx Heghog for the sites, will have a look.
