The last couple of days we have been at the southern end of England. We missed most of the bad flooding about here at the moment.

Yesterday we ventured up to see Stonehenge. It was well worth the trip to see the stones from ancient history.
There is a visitors centre with buses that run up and back to the stones. Inside the centre are artifacts and slide shows about the history of the the area. It was quite informative. We always thought it was was built by Druids but it was built way before they came along. They did though use the area. It seems it was a burial ground as well with lots of mounds around which have been used for burials.

Today we went further east and camped at Brighton. It is quite different than a lot of other towns. Along the beachfront are lots of large buildings that seem to be either lodges or town houses. They look quite expensive and have a great view across the English Channel. The water's edge is all stones and the sea looks rough and not very inviting.

We walked from our van park up to the Brighton Wharf area along the waterfront. The wharf is very larger and old. It is full of eateries and sideshow alley type places. We stopped and had fish and chips in the cold windy weather.

Next we wandered up around the main town area. It was interesting to see some of the sights.
