Cycle for Stonehenge
1:59pm Monday 4th February 2013 in News By Journal Reporter
CYCLISTS are being given the chance to pedal into history while raising funds to create a worthy visitor experience at Stonehenge.
English Heritage has launched its first ever fundraising event challenge, the Stonehenge Cycle Challenge.
The sponsored cycle ride will trace the original 170-mile journey of the Stonehenge bluestones from their source in the Preseli Mountains of Wales to the site where they still stand, 5,000 years later.
All the money that is raised will provide a much needed funding boost for the site, for which a new visitor centre is currently being constructed.
The challenge will take place over three days from September 13 to 15.
To register your interest in taking part, email cycle.stonehenge@english-heritage.org.uk.
