π Summer Solstice at Stonehenge π
Every year, thousands of people gather at Stonehenge to mark the summer solstice and watch the sunrise align with this remarkable ancient monument. Built more than 4,500 years ago by Neolithic farming communities, Stonehenge was carefully designed to reflect the movement of the sun, demonstrating an impressive understanding of astronomy and the seasons.
Although Stonehenge predates the Druids by around 2,000 years, it has become an important spiritual site for many modern Druids and Pagans, who celebrate the solstice as a time of connection with nature, renewal and community.
Today, Stonehenge remains a powerful symbol of Britain's ancient past, bringing together people of all backgrounds to celebrate history, culture and the wonder of the natural world.
