Description

Avebury in Wiltshire is best known as the world's largest stone circle, but surrounding it is a wealth of ancient monuments. Captivated by its unique atmosphere, many visitors form a personal, often spiritual, connection to Avebury and its "sacred landscape." What was it that first attracted people to the Avebury area more than 5,000 years ago? Beautifully illustrated with over 400 photographs, maps, and diagrams, Exploring Avebury invites us on a journey of discovery. For the first time the importance of water, light, and sound is revealed, and we begin to see Avebury through the eyes of those who built it.
