At the dawn of the winter solstice, thousands gathered at the iconic Stonehenge to witness the symbolic sun break over the ancient stones, marking renewal and rebirth. Despite chilly winds, the spiritual pull of the site drew people to celebrate the shortest day, signalling a slow return of daylight. English Heritage, responsible for the site, allows large crowds for the summer and winter solstices, offering a rare opportunity for people to connect with history and celebrate the changing of seasons. Nearby, the Avebury stone circle and Glastonbury Tor were also bustling hubs of activity, continuing the tradition that dates back over 2,500 years.
