Stonehenge is arguably one of the most culturally significant and mysterious landmarks in the world, a real head-scratcher for all who visit.

Archaeologists believe it was created, built, or 'stood up' between 3000 BC and 2000 BC, and has fascinated people ever since.

It has been a site of great significance and spirituality since its creation, but no one really knows what its original purpose was meant for. But, that hasn't stopped people guessing.

Flavia Robles Lorente, Marketing Manager at Camplify, said: "At Camplify, we recognise the challenges posed by long distances and poor travel connections for tourists wishing to explore the country's beauty.
