If you have enjoyed a visit to Stonehenge, go to Avebury as I think you will enjoy it even more. The village is situated in amongst several large circles of prehistoric stones, many of which have been lost (the locals broke them up and built walls and houses from them !) but many of which are well preserved - and unlike Stonehenge, you can go right up to the stones and touch them. This postcard, which was issued by the old Ministry of Works, clearly shows the village and the stone circles. Nearby are Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow, and there are shops and a pub in Avebury.
