This map shows the location where the North Eastern Avenue from Stonehenge makes its final turn directly to the South West for the final approach to Stonehenge. The henge is just out of sight due to the lie of the land and emerges from the landscape directly ahead. On the Winter Solstice, the sun sets directly behind Stonehenge from this vantage point. This scene is depicted dramatically on the sign, making it rather special.
Location Name: The Avenue, Stonehenge, Wiltshire, UK
