Stonehenge (4 hrs) or Avebury Henge (5 hrs)
Stonehenge: England’s most famous monument and a testament to the scientific and engineering skills of our bronze age ancestors. This enigmatic site remains one of the great mysteries of the ancient world. As you absorb the energy of the temple of Stonehenge, we discuss theories behind its construction and purpose. Private access subject to availability.
Avebury/Silbury: The world’s largest stone circle, built 5000 years ago. Avebury is a prehistoric complex and the megalithic capital of Britain. We walk around the awesome bank and ditch (henge) and wander the inner circles and the avenue. Nearby is Silbury Hill, the largest artificial mound in Europe, dating back to around 2400 BC. Its purpose and significance remain unknown.
Stonehenge and Avebury/Silbury (full day)
See and feel both of these spectacular megalithic temples in one day. The sites are an hour’s drive apart, yet from a global perspective, they resonate together. Their energies are quite different – Stonehenge is dramatic, a celestial temple, while Avebury is friendly, a place of the Earth Mother.
Both are set in the remarkable wide-open, un-earthly landscapes of the chalk downs of Wiltshire. This is a memorable trip. Private access to Stonehenge is subject to availability.
