If Stonehenge is compact, Avebury is sprawling. It is another stone circle over a mile circumference, in fact, they just built the village right in the middle of it. Some of the stones were massive, and some had been worn down. The great fun of this was walking right up and touching; although the kids were disappointed to see the sign asking them not to climb on them. Madeleine was more interested in the sheep that grazed in the fields all around the stones. (Boots or something you can hose off would have been good...tip for next time.)
