Avebury

[poliphilo]

I calculated the distance at 30 miles but  it turned out to be more like 60 and the light was going by the time we reached Avebury. Unlike Stonehenge- the worst managed tourist attraction in the country- Avebury attracts only those who care for her- and the magic is unspoiled.

Happy B-Day!

I'm enjoying your photos from you trip, but they're ruined one image I had of England. I, for some reason, imagined Glastonbury and other sites to be very popular. From your photos it seems that they're sparsely visited, like the native american earthworks sites. For example, my wife and I visited Serpent Mound in Ohio several years ago and you can see that we're almost the only people there on a nice August weekend afternoon --http://www.flickr.com/gp/82081265@N00/u73b44

Thanks.

Ah well, we're out of season aren't we. Glastonbury at the height of summer gets full of people. Even on an early morning in January there were a number of us up on the Tor- including a woman out walking with her grand-daughter and little dog and a guy sitting with his back to the tower in the lotus position.
