Stonehenge at Milton Keynes
Famously, Midsummer Boulevard at the Central Milton Keynes shopping centre, is aligned with the path of the sun at summer solstice every year, so this year 2025 the sunrise will be 04:42am at altitude 48 degree in the east horizon.
This road aligned with the sunrise on the summer solstice conjure echoes of “Stonehenge” where I tracked time with sunlight.

The summer solstice on Saturday, 21st June 2025 marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky.
This astronomical event occurs because Earth’s axis is tilted 23.44°, causing the Northern Hemisphere to receive the most direct sunlight for around 16 hours 38 minutes to compare in the winter solstice for a whopping 7 hours and 50 minutes.
