Babbacombe Model Village in Torquay has a model of Stonehenge which looks pretty accurate, bar the lack of crowds.

In the photos they show mini-druids enacting a ritual among the stones. It can't be Summer Solstice as they're alone and it's too tidy! Obviously the model-makers either haven't visited the real circle on Solstice or ran out of mini-figures! (grins)
Note: A very happy summer solstice from all of us at the Megalithic Portal
