Obama Bumps Stonehenge Off His 'Bucket List'

Even presidents can play tourist ... Barack Obama has ended a busy two-day Nato summit in Wales with an impromptu stroll through Stonehenge.

While other world leaders may have headed straight for the airport, the US President took a small detour for a spot of sightseeing.

"How cool is this?" he commented as he was taken on a guided tour through the ancient Wiltshire monument.

He told reporters it was always something he had wanted to see, and now he had "knocked it off the bucket list".

The ancient site got the thumbs up from the US President

"It's spectacular. It's spectacular. It's a special place," he said.

But it wasn't just the President who had a day to remember.

A local family, who were walking through a nearby field of sheep, also aren't likely to forget his visit in a hurry.

Mr Obama made his way over to the excited family of five and proceeded to spend a few minutes chatting and posing for photos.

As she saw him approaching, mother Janice Raffle took to Twitter to say: "I can see president Obama! Any messages?"

She then posted a picture of the whole family with the President.

Mrs Raffle, who does charity runs to highlight the declining bee population, has since received a number of donations.

Stonehenge, which was built in three phases between 3000 BC and 1600 BC, is a Unesco World Heritage site.

Archaeologists believe it was built as a temple, although to which gods, and exactly how it was used, is unclear.
