What I love most about standing stones in Britain is that so many of them were built by other cultures that came to Britain from abroad.
They stand as monuments to the fact that these islands have long been a melting pot of people, cultures and ideas.
If you think Britain is some kind of pure white monoculture, you've got rocks in your head. Also, they're the entirely wrong rocks.

@ProjectFearlessness There’s a very famous standing stone I’m planning to visit soon that’s near me in the #EastRidingOfYorkshire called the #RudstonMonolith which is the tallest standing stone in Britain. Do you know anything about it? Will post a pic when I finally get around to it!
Another interesting site is Long Meg and her daughters, just outside Penrith. Well worth a visit as is the Toffee Shop in the town centre.

I don't know much about the Rudston Monolith
