What to See

Special Places

Ancient Stone Circles
by Worldofmuse about 9 months ago

Before going to the famous Stonehenge, consider Avebury, the largest stone circle. You can walk all around it, there are no fences or admission charges. A village has grown up in and around it. There's even a great pub and a few houses inside it! And in walking distance is Europe's largest earth mound, Silbury Hill. There's a B n B across from it, and you can try and fail to get Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill out of your head.
