Avebury: Megalithic Playground

While England is sprinkled with stone circles, the megalithic playground at Avebury gives travelers a truly hands-on experience. Unlike Stonehenge, which is roped off and only viewable at a distance, Averbury is 16 times larger than its better known counterpart, and welcomes kids, sheep, and anyone else interested a chance to interact with this engineering marvel.
