Re: Avebury by gormer on Saturday, 01 November 2003

Avebury's stone circle was enchanting, and the first I'd been to while in England (on a tip from Wiltshire locals, we visited Avebury instead of Stonehenge on a Saturday afternoon in midsummer--far less crowded). The tourist facilities do a decent job of interpreting the site--I don't think I would have enjoyed my trip half as much without knowing the quirky little side stories about the unfortunate Barber/Surgeon Stone, for instance, or about the "recycling" of Avebury stones in local architecture. Sadly, I didn't have time to visit the wealth of other sites in the immediate area beyond the stone circle, but I can see how Avebury could easily become a vacation in itself.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
