The number of visitors and the nearby motorway really detracted from it for me, but it might have been a bad day. Much smaller but really impressive were other ones that appear on ordinance survey maps all over the U.K. (check the wiki). Even the relatively busy Avebury one is easy to escape the tourists due to is vast size and long Meg sticks in my mind.
I was on a working holiday, and can recommend getting an ordinary survey map of any area you’ll be around in the U.K. and visiting the old stuff. World War Two airbases, Neolithic barrows, canal locks, quarries, mines and churches etc.
While a motorway is a special designation of road in the UK, in practice roads like the A303 are motorways, as in roads consisting of constant, heavy motorised traffic.
