Some of the stones at #Avebury in Wiltshire taken a few years ago.
I much prefer this to Stonehenge, far larger, fewer visitors, and a VILLAGE in the middle of it!

@uk_csi and an excellent pub!

@sprkwd I've never been in it, but I do remember seeing the car park at the pub packed with bikers one Wednesday evening when I was wandering around.

@uk_csi Also the children's TV show "Children of the Stones" was filmed there and left a generation scarred for life.

@Printdevil I can't remember that, but my partner says she used to watch it from behind the sofa 😀

@Printdevil Yes, that looks fun!
I've just frightened my partner by showing her the public information film about old fridges... which was then followed by the dangers of 'dark water' 😀

@uk_csi *And* close to the West Kennet Avenue!

@derickr Yes indeed, I have some quite decent sunset photos from the road next to it... unfortunately taken with a vary basic point and shoot camera many years ago.

@uk_csi Used to go there quite often! Indeed the place is more relax than Stonehenge. Is the Stones Restaurant still there?

@bigbelgianbopper I have no idea, the last time I was there was probably about 4 years ago!
I must try and go again soon.
