Landlord recreates Stonehenge outside his pub as tourists can’t get close to the real landmark
A LANDLORD is creating a mini version of Stonehenge outside his pub for tourists unable to get close to the real thing.
Daniel King, 33, says visitors are often gutted to find the famous stone circle is roped off.
So he commissioned artist and brickie Rhys Bliszko to make a 4ft concrete version for his pub, The Stonehenge Inn, three miles from the 4,000-year-old monument.
It is less than a third as tall as the 13ft original but Daniel says each stone is shaped like the real ones and the circle aligns with the sun in the same way.
Work is due to be completed later this week at Daniel’s pub near Amesbury, Wilts.
The dad of three said: “You can only go up and touch the real Stonehenge when it’s the winter or summer solstice.

"The rest of the time you have to keep your distance.
“But people will be allowed to climb all over mine if they want.
"It might be a bit smaller and not quite as old but at least you can get up close.”
