Here, we are only about 20 miles from Avebury Ring, the largest stone circle in Europe, as well many long barrows and other sites and there is Stonehenge about 40 miles away. In both areas, we are never far from very ancient history - a privilege indeed and maybe one we here in the UK take for granted.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-90601963230601419692014-05-18T01:39:01.823+01:002014-05-18T01:39:01.823+01:00Omg !
