An unusual complex of ancient monuments, dubbed "Northern Stonehenge", is open to the public in the north of England, the state agency for the protection of heritage Historic England reported.

Thornborough-Henjiz, located in the county of North Yorkshire near the village of Thornborough, is a complex of three mysterious circular structures dating from 3500-2500 BC.

The complex is one of the oldest prehistoric monuments in the country and resembles the famous Stonehenge.

This cluster of giant blocks of stone, arranged in a circle in the middle of the Salisbury Plain in the south-west of England, is one of the oldest architectural monuments in England, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stonehenge attracts thousands of tourists every year.
