Welcome to Stanton Drew

Stanton Drew is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is known for its prehistoric stone circles, which are believed to be older than Stonehenge. The largest circle is made up of 27 stones, with the tallest standing at over 4 meters high. The stones are thought to have been erected around 3000 BC, and their purpose is still a mystery. The site is open to the public and attracts visitors from all over the world.

In addition to the stone circles, Stanton Drew also has a number of other historic sites. The village church, St. Mary's, dates back to the 13th century and is a Grade I listed building. It features a number of interesting architectural details, including a Norman font and a 15th-century rood screen. The village also has a pub, The Druid's Arms, which is said to be haunted by a ghost named Rosie.

Despite its small size, Stanton Drew has a vibrant community and a number of local events throughout the year. The village fete, held in July, is a popular event, as is the annual beer festival. The village also has a cricket team, which plays on the village green during the summer months. Overall, Stanton Drew is a charming and historic village that is well worth a visit for anyone interested in prehistory or rural English life.
