Iceland! Volcanoes, hot springs, polar nights, northern lights, snow, Viking history!

I'd also like to visit the British Isles for all the history and the prehistory. I'd love to visit Stonehenge and other megalithic sites.

If I ever get the chance I'd like to get on a trek in Nepal and reach the Everest base camp. I'd never climb it (I'm way too weak and it's way too dangerous) but the view must be beautiful.

Stonehenge is for tourists, you want Avebury for the real experience. And Skara Brae too.

Yeah, Avebury is nicer, more relaxed, and has a nice pub in the centre.

I've looked them up on Wikipedia and both sites look amazing! Thanks for the tip!

Avebury is very nice and worth a visit, but if you're in the area and have an interest in megaliths, you can't NOT go to Stonehenge just because it's popular. That'd be ridiculous.

And the Icelandic Phallological Museum, right? :P

With all due respect to the other anons, please disregard the "Stonehenge is for tourists" nonsense. If you avoid everything in England that's popular with tourists, you'll miss out big time. A few things to keep in mind:

1) Yes, Stonehenge is a very popular tourism site.
2) Yes, you're not allowed to walk between the stones and have to keep your distance and the stones are smaller than you think they are.
3) But as far as tourist sites go, it's nowhere near as obnoxious as even a small theme park in the U.S.
4) And it is still cool.


Avebury will let you walk among the stones and it's also a great place to visit. Hit both if you can. :)

Stonehenge, as a neolithic site, is as authentic as a Victorian folly is for a classical Roman site. Mainly because Stonehenge is a Victorian folly now, it has been tinkered about too much with and the stones are set and fixed with modern cement. The wider landscape around it has some interesting neolithic features, which you'll need to be on a verified academic dig to visit, but the stones themselves are as inauthentic as you can get.
