Stonehenge - so close you could walk there
The whole point of selecting certain places to stay while traveling through England was the proximity to places we wanted to visit. Everyone wants to see Stonehenge, right? Well, I'm a little different. I can't do anything the easy way. We stayed at a hotel that stated it was within walking distance from Stonehenge. We set off to go on our trek and the girl at the front desk was telling us that she wouldn't walk to it. Part way through our walk, we agreed. But we continued on walking against traffic in the tall wet grass making jokes that everyone who passed us were going "crazy foreigners". They wouldn't be wrong if they did.
Well, had we not been crazy and decided to get a taxi, I never would have found my only hedgehog observation. Granted, the poor thing was crushed, but I saw one. And a decent looking Roe Deer. Granted it was also dead. But it is an observation so it counts. Maybe next time I can find a live hedgehog.
