It was an enjoyable write, too! Hoping to pop back to Avebury between now and Christmas (it’ll be interesting to see if the house dressed for Christmas has any effect!)
Avebury. I prefer it to it's cousin. The sense of presence due to the sheep, and homes nestled up into the circle give it an atmosphere that Stonehenge lacks. Less of an attraction, more of a landscape that feels inclusive.
I agree. When I visited Stonehenge I actually spend more time wandering the adjacent landscape, near the barrows and valleys, because it felt much less curated (for want of a better word).
Great post! Thanks for sharing this story and experience!
