One family had an "incredible five minutes" when they met Barack Obama during his impromptu stroll through Stonehenge.
The US President played tourist after a busy two-day Nato summit in Wales.
While other world leaders may have headed straight for the airport, Mr Obama took a small detour for a spot of sightseeing.
The ancient site got the thumbs up from the US President "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".
"It's spectacular. It's spectacular. It's a special place," he said.
Barack Obama chats with the Raffle family The Raffle family, who were walking through a nearby field of sheep, also aren't likely to forget his visit in a hurry.
After walking around the monument Mr Obama made his way over to the excited family of five and proceeded to spend a few minutes chatting and posing for photos.
Janice Raffle told Sky News: "The first person to say something was James (her husband), and James said: 'Welcome to England'.
Mr Obama said Stonehenge was on his bucket list "At that point he shook all of our hands and said: 'It's such a beautiful place do you live around here?'
"We said we'd just moved to the area, he said it was very quiet and the air was beautiful and so peaceful.
"He was very sweet, one of the boys had put his hands on barbed wire and he was like 'oh be careful'."
Her husband James described it as an "incredible five minutes".
The Raffle family only moved to the area two weeks ago Afterwards Mrs Raffle 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.
