Heaven's Henge

Heaven's Henge is a gallery tucked away near Warminster that takes a decidedly modern swing at the stone circle obsession. Rather than standing in a muddy field squinting at ancient rocks, you're looking at contemporary art that plays with the mystique of places like Stonehenge - think installations and pieces that question what we project onto these prehistoric sites.

It's genuinely interesting if you're the type who likes to think while you walk around. The gallery works best for adults and older teenagers with a bit of patience for conceptual stuff. Kids under twelve will likely be bored within twenty minutes, unless they're unusually art-focused. You'll need maybe an hour to see everything properly without rushing.

The location is brilliant for a longer park holiday in the area. You're only a mile or so from Longleat, so you could easily combine a morning at the gallery with an afternoon at the safari park or one of the leisure parks - Center Parcs Longleat Forest and the caravan sites are all within spitting distance. The Treehouses and Hidden Wood Glamping are likewise close enough for a quick drive.

Warminster itself is a proper working market town, not a tourist trap, which means decent pubs and cafes nearby if you want lunch. Check ahead for opening hours and admission fees - details aren't widely advertised, so a phone call before you visit is sensible. It's one of those places that rewards people who bother to seek it out rather than follow the obvious Stonehenge crowds.
