Featured Who needs the Pyramids of Giza or Stonehenge.

That is amazing Davey.

 

That’s a very cool thing. Thanks for showing us.

That is just amazing. And I'd never heard of it. Here's something in Spain few people are aware of. Not nearly as old -- only pre-Roman -- but impressive, nevertheless.

I love standing stones, but that is one I have never seen. Impressive size and a very nice shape. Thank you for showing us.

Buzz is clearly not happy in those photos. Animals can sense such things, whatever is going in that churchyard.

I have seen them, and they are impressive too.

 

Fantastic stuff !
My Brother wants Us to move to Costa Rica-but if we uprooted ourselves it'd have to be for a place as historically rich as the UK or Europe.

 

Fascinating ! Ive always wanted to go to England for this very reason,just rotten with history around every corner !

 

Take it up to 11.

 

Great post, I didn't know about that one but there are 100's of them all over the UK, why Stonehenge always gets the visitors I don't know, most of them you can climb on for free. Here is a fantastic website where all the ancient sites are listed and mapped, all you need to do is click on the pin on the map and it will show info and photos. Maybe the tourists should know about this, instead of paying to see Stonehenge from a distance.

“ Why not just have it go to 10, and make THAT louder?”

“This goes up to 11.”

 

Ditto. It is also more recent than many others. A stone circle is best experienced when you are alone or with friends, not countless tourists. Although I quite like Avebury as well, maybe because it has a village inside the circle.

 

I like Avebury too There used to be a children's program set around Avebury when I was a kid, I didn't like it because it was scary "children of the stones"

 

You can still 'feel' the circle, even though there is a village inside. Sweet little village too, and I don't mind the locals benefitting from the visitors, it is their circle.

 

I like Avebury much better than Stonehenge for the same reason, the village is entwined with it.

 

When I first visited Avebury I wanted to live there. Lovely village, and talk about sacred landscape. Perfect setting for me.

 

Well, I visited Stonehenge on my first trip overseas -- 1974!! You were able to walk freely amongst the stones and touch them which I did. Not so many tourists back then.

 

Avebury's wonderful-pub,some cows, nice old church and you can touch the stones.

 

I noticed you mentioned the pub first.
