Guided Tours Unexpected Encounters

Esperance Stonehenge

The Esperance Stonehenge is a full size replica of the UK Stonehenge. It appears as the original is thought to look around 1950BC. Constructed from 137 stones of Esperance Pink Granite, the Esperance Stonehenge is located roughly 15km from town along Merivale Road (on the way to Cape Le Grand National Park).

The Stonehenge was built to align with the Esperance solar calendar, meaning in December as the sun rises rays align with the Heel Stones and shine through to the altar stone for the Summer Solstice. The sunset of the Winter Solstice repeats the same alignment in reverse. Stonehenge is open daily and situated on a working farm, so please ensure pets remain in the car park.
