This is the last roadside refreshment stop before Stonehenge, which is about two miles further down the A303. Before you go, look out for the strange piece of sculpture by Charlotte Moreton that looks like a cross between a helicopter and a fly. Can you guess what it is?

OK, so it's a dragonfly sculpture, made from a recycled helicopter. There are five other works by Charlotte Solstice Park and maybe more planned. Send in your suggestions to us now!

Suggestions for further art

Gold helicopter by Marky: I'd very much like to see a gold helicopter actually made of real gold.

White Horse by Martin Muncle Munchers: I would like to suggest placing a giant white horse here just a few feet taller than the one planned for Kent.

Albatross by A. Mariner: How about a great big albatross made out of an old Jumbo Jet?

Burger 2 Go by Yummy Mummy: How about a giant gold burger that glows like a spaceship at night?
