Why are Stonehenge stones found so far away?

How far was the Stonehenge moved?
There is only one famous Stonehenge in Britain. The sarsen stones (the big ones) were brought up to 20 miles from other parts of Salisbury Plain. The bluestones were brought from Prescelly, in the far west of Wales, aqbout 160 miles in a straight line. Nobody knows the route they used, the stones may have been brought around the coast by sea, then up the River Avon. (NB not the Avon associated with Shakespeare). Look it up on a map to see the sort of journay the must have had - Stonehenge is just north of Salisbury, Prescelly is near Fishguard and St Davids.

Theories for the construction of Stonehenge?
There are multiple theories with the one that appears the most being related to pagan ceremony. The postions of the stones provide clues that lead scientists to believe they had something to do with the summer and winter solstice, and early religious ceremonies that celebrated the changing seasons. However, most of what has been learned about Stonehenge thus far is still theoretical. National Geographic magazine had a feature about Stonehenge about a year ago (link attached) that you may find interesting. The greatest questions are: how did early man get the stones from the quarry all the way up to the plateau and lift them into place? And perhaps more importantly, how did they so accurately set out such massive stones - to what was clearly a precise and premeditated plan, and what cosmological model determined that plan?
