We thought we’d escaped the torrential rain at home in Cumbria with a trip to Portland for help celebrate the CC’s launch party of the acclaimed new Portland guidebook. Unfortunately the wet weather had caught us up by Sunday morning and even the “promised” sunny south coast was wet!
So, having travelled so far we thought we check out some local tourist attractions … Stonehenge and the stone circle at Avebury.
Who thought it was 'okay' to put a road through an ancient monument?
Are the stones still fenced off? When I was a kid there was no fence and it was possible to get as close as you did to the stones at Avebury ring.
Yes, very disappointing, when I was there on a school trip we went right up to them! Now, they are all behind fences. π Still an awesome place though! π
Not awesome just mildly interesting, it is in Wiltshire π
If they’d been in Cumbria this weekend, they would have been washed away!
