Stonehenge
On the Salisbury Plain southeast of Bath, England, numerous stone circles stand amidst the vast wilderness—this is the mysterious prehistoric site of Stonehenge in the British Isles. In 1130 AD, a British priest accidentally discovered Stonehenge during a journey. These majestic stones, with an average weight of nearly 30 tons, still puzzle researchers today regarding their arrangement and exact purpose. On the way to the prehistoric Stonehenge, signs are posted along the route, and railings surround the site, allowing visitors to view it from a distance of 30 m. Research suggests its construction spanned over a thousand years: approx. 3000 BC, ancient people built embankments here, creating a circular earthwork with 56 pits arranged inside; by approx. 2500 BC, the massive stones were gradually transported and erected. The main sandstone blocks were sourced from the Marlborough Downs, approx. 30 km away, with each averaging approx. 25 tons, and the heel stone weighing approx. 30 tons. The smaller bluestones came from the Preseli Hills in Wales, over 200 km away. The fact that such transportation was accomplished without metal tools or wheels still astonishes researchers today.Salisbury · 52.8km from Poole

The Tivoli Theatre
The Tivoli Theatre is located in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, United Kingdom, and is an independent theater with distinctive local cultural character, as well as an important local venue for live performances and community culture. Although the theater is not large, it has an intimate atmosphere that allows the audience to enjoy stage performances from a close distance. Compared to large commercial theaters, it has more of a community theater feel and is an important place for local residents to watch performances and participate in cultural activities. The theater hosts a wide variety of performances, including plays, concerts, comedy, dance, film screenings, and programs for children and families, with different themed events scheduled throughout the seasons. In addition to professional actors and performance troupes, it also provides performance opportunities for local community groups, so you can see many programs with local character. The interior environment of the theater is relatively cozy, and the viewing experience lacks the sense of distance found in large venues.Wimborne Minster · 9.6km from Poole

Bournemouth Pier is a great spot for fun for those of all ages. There are several food outlets, an amazing and varied attraction offering and even boat trips. You can't miss people in drives enjoying the zip wire activities too.

The pools are a bit worn down and the slides could do with a bit of an update. There are some really fun and fast slides, and the rubber ring rapids is a great family slide. There isn’t really anywhere to chill out with the family and the queueing and stairwell system is extremely confusing, even leading to dead ends. I’m sure they could improve this, but when offered with the feedback, a member of staff told me “they just worked there and it wasn’t confusing”. Still a good day out, just don’t expect a Centre Parcs experience.

The trip to stonehenge was beautiful. Its a good place to spend time with family. Seeing the stones in real life felt surreal.
