Great Britain
Long barrows and stone circles in southern England
Megalithic monuments in Britain are mainly concentrated in western and northern areas where sources of suitable stone were widely available. In the south and east of the country comparable monuments were mainly built of wood. Many different styles exist, some reflecting local traditions while others illustrate changing preferences over time. Strong connections can be seen in the design of the monuments with structures south-westwards along the Atlantic seaways in Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal, and eastwards towards southern Scandinavia, northern Germany, and the Netherlands.
Europäischer Tag der Megalithkultur
Seit 2013 führen die Mitglieder von Megalithic Routes einen internationalen Tag der Megalithkultur durch. Seit 2014 handelt es sich dabei um den letzten Sonntag im April. An diesem Tag finden in den Mitgliedsregionen Veranstaltungen statt, die den hohen allgemeinen Wert der Megalithkultur und ihre Besonderheiten verdeutlichen.
