Visiting Neolithic Sites

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Most visitors to Stonehenge & Avebury arrive in the middle of a large car park and obtain only a limited experience of the circles in relation to the surrounding landscape.

Our neolithic ancestors were fanatical “landscape architects” and by necessity keen walkers! They positioned burial mounds, barrows, tumuli, hill-forts, defensive ditches etc. to alert walkers when they were approaching a powerful site.

To approach these sites walking the same routes used by the ancient Saxons visitors can combine the use of a comfortable modern Land Rover and a short walk in the beautiful countryside of Wiltshire.

On Safari you are met at your hotel, railway station or other meeting point, and driven on roads and sometimes partly off-road along a muddy countryside “green lane”. Sensible shoes or boots are advised!
