Avebury is much much better to visit. It feels so very atmospheric of the past, and it's spacious and does not feel crowded. But don't tell everyone!
Agreed; never visited Stonehenge, driven past it quiet a few times and might stop one day.https://youtu.be/SwT0wLnT7Rc?si=UAhk1c8xlnha-ksa

According to Explored Planet, Stonehenge is the 4th most overrated attarction in the world!

Although the atmosphere around Stonehenge is often livelier when a druidic festival is going on, this is what the United Kingdom's mysterious rock monument looks like most of the time. For some tourists, that's enough. According to Wiltshire Times, the 4,500-year-old monument and its mysterious origins inspired about 7,000 positive reviews on Tripadvisor. However, others cautioned that it costs more to experience Stonehenge than it may seem. Furthermore, the experience is likely to be considered boring among families with young children. It's also in the middle of nowhere compared to other British attractions, which makes it hard to justify the trip to Wiltshire.
Do YOU think Stonehenge is worth a visit?
