Among the world\u2019s most instantly recognisable sites, Stonehenge is one of those rare places that truly merits being described as \u2018iconic\u2019. Beneath the wide-open skies of Salisbury Plain, the outer ring of sarsen stones \u2013 some joined by immense lintels \u2013 is an extraordinary site.<\/p>

Throw into that the element of mystery \u2013 famously, no one knows who the builders were or how they managed to transport the gargantuan stones from the Preseli Mountains in south-west Wales \u2013 and you\u2019re on to photographic gold.<\/p>
