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.
