Around 4000BC, the landscape of Britain was a wild, forested place, where tribes of hunter-gathers roamed freely. However, the British Isles were still attached to mainland Europe and over this land bridge came settlers with ideas of agriculture, community and religious rituals. The age of Neolithic Britain had begun and was to transform the landscape over the next 1,500 years, clearing the woodlands and building impressive stone structures that were to last through until the modern day.
