The Grey Wethers
The Grey WethersThe quarry for Avebury, watched over by fast mean cows and slow mean cows.
Avebury is a world heritage site, and - unlike Stonehenge - a place where you can actually touch the stones. Most people see the village, Silbury hill (you cannot miss it - even if you wanted), and maybe the East Kennet Long barrow. If you walk east, cross over the ridgeway, and brave the bovines, you can see the Saracen stones in a field known as the Grey Wethers. This is where the stones for the ring came from. It's a bit of a hike (we did a 10km loop), but worth it.
