Stonehenge is built in a way that the sun hits different stones at different times of the year. They had to know where to line up the stones. The stones are 'aligned' with the sun. At different times of the year, the sun shines on different stones, making it like a giant sundial.

Stonehenge is a mysterious ancient monument located in the English countryside. The largest stones standing there are as much as 30 feet tall and weigh an estimated 25 tons apiece. The entire monument is about 320 feet in diameter.
There are a lot of rocks that make up Stonehenge in fact over 20 but i only know one type of rock and that rock is called bluestone
Stand enormous stones up vertically.
Because it is amazing! During the solstice, the stones line up to form an exact Geometrically calculated figure. For people from hundreds of years ago to line up stones so accurately is fascinating. Not to mention that the wheel hadn't been invented, so carrying those huge stones appears next to impossible. Also, we don't know for sure who built it, which in and of itself is amazing.
They are about 39.1 miles apart, according to Google Maps. So that's about a 45 minute drive, or a two-day walk. ***(I found Stonehenge boring as you can't get right up to the stones anymore, but the Roman Baths in Bath were fascinating!)
The world's most famous cromlech is located in England at Stonehenge. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument made up of a series of standing stones arranged in a circular formation. It is known for its mystery and historical significance.
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.
