Avebury - Ancient Circle
# Hail to the Hive!

Nestled in the Wiltshire countryside is a quaint little Village of Avebury and apart from the cutesie old British phone boxes

![5771CEE7-0C32-4894-8474-58C5F074526C.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/Eqd82yDyaU2uooUd8M66yuyBvCVJpT9r8dNFemKSbxMWeEsLdcnaP8MPpPqcbknueLM.jpeg)

And dressed up in knitwear post boxes

Which are very cute by the way

and the lovely English country village setting. Apart from all that, is a deep deep history going back  to  the neolithic age 6000 years ago.

![53D3F665-6786-443B-913B-DD57879AFB02.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/EpZQTtrTfjfyePc6xhZA2mkDQ257GePQYML9hSg4TuXY1fYd7XCdmdAb6Cxvnwnqn1J.jpeg)

Avebury has a Neolithic stone circle or a 'henge'. A henge is what they call a construction of a earthwork from the Neolithic age often accompanied by either stone or wood circles. In this case stone.

![468FB110-C3EA-4EE1-B0B4-1826DBE5DDFF.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/EnWG376wcKBCfnM1eEZhzfKgXq5EhE9hxrqhfW3iXgtm9Jx895d4fAh8hiwhFtBaCxG.jpeg)

As it is quite a large circle it is hard to comprehend from the ground level.

## Bring out the Drone!


![F6F49FD3-4052-4489-A865-589728FADE41.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/23wC12bmPkJrw67eAXoo33AFci1Z8abjiyv1igaJTHZTYjhWVtd7QGt8kqFAkCFZHk3hZ.jpeg)

From the air we can clearly see the circular bank and ditch and the remainging stones positioned around the edge.

![180390A4-6249-4329-BB1E-3B3562CDBC5A.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/EqYt9EyWLGSYEvbNk1SzuQe4bN3jXZaBjJV5vg2WovZDV7Xo31d9aXJsBwuCndDS8Fa.jpeg)

And there is a footpath along the rim of the bank offering splending views of both the site and the countryside beyond.

![0242644D-D737-4FE6-8133-26822E2E823F.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/23s9LwrViZtUGnJDyPuk4GGxp5ZHzaB5PpTdFzGUuoFMxjHQ5iN6gvTL3utHpRNFxw96K.jpeg)

It's rare these days to have such easy ( and free ) access to a monument such as this. You are able to walk around and touch the stones which you used to be able to do at Stone Henge ( not far away) but no longer can.
![16E30C08-1D55-4F2B-9EA4-B1A420A7494C.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/242Y3dUoQEWHWfAsQbx2h54inXiBy4Gz12b4rjYcv5igBDpNHLTup2pJFsUucu1Qrr3DT.jpeg)

A few hundred years ago a settlement that became the village here sprang up amongst the stones and this has meant there is a road running right through it. I'm pretty sure the builders 6000 years ago never envisaged this.

![FF4C721B-D0B7-40DC-A447-8F8B56812C0E.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/23zuz3hqyS66F7YbkHKxxXgVE9qhSryHpeiUcDDNykBw1oVJcMSwDsjR8n2YRfi4e3uKE.jpeg)

Despite this it is still a wonderful day out and in some weird way adds to the charm of the place not to mention making it easily accesible. There's a bus stop literally in the middle of the circle.


![F4D0FC78-50F7-438C-9F9F-9230225C41E7.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/EnWF9DmrQE9vppjfmVEH2bhbQPPb3XresFVF5c8pyjsCfs8X3WNznHLxUF525d2wfBP.jpeg)


Apparently excavations found a skeleton under the stone pictured above but he was not from the times when it was built. No, unfortunately the poor bugger got crushed under it a few hundred years back when it fell over. Bugger, that's bad luck indeed.

![950CFDBF-5C0D-4F20-831E-A066599429C4.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/23rB9fSwJJMqvZBHfPAhpa2n8zekWTFqy2HbQnEWfhS6mwNruvBJiYU3WS4pJiooHmnVT.jpeg)

Both @millycf1976 and myself had a lovely day walking amongst the ancient site, taking photos and marveling at the sheer age of it. I am sure the stonework would have looked much different but with 6000 years of British weather they wouldn't have remained as intact as anything you see in for instance Egypt.

![4005A79A-C58E-45FE-95B9-ACD5F6B072EF.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/23xowjvmY5mqtXWChxQLALLSSHVtAYNViXEyJWtomKygKKB1i6K1rrMJemZPDo36NpRRX.jpeg)
But from the air you really see and can imagine, how amazing this site actually is and must have been all that time ago.

![42CE2B01-A086-4C5E-B9F7-EF4B2CA823B9.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/EokadhcGLsawN4eKiZQQEC4PTeKohEwdVi65phY1fwz4AWwSDBWepFX3TtmYvjEf32c.jpeg)

The roads almost make it appear like a spoked wheel now.


![2362D129-D0E2-448C-A43A-A84D135F6650.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/242Xs2vZem9QzrtUWH1nkZq2qN2jJ3EN5Kexo73PxAbDU31qDA8z7s4uunFgPxDoEyyHN.jpeg)


Ooooh and a pub right in the middle bang opposite the bus stop!

![180592D6-AD8C-428F-8D3A-B6AACB76F160.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/23xerLESj5e6hzn9xkxwGzMHY8c6fNNkGDwdLSmkHBYSacDRnmNCP9zaGSMeDM62tNQyX.jpeg)

Celebrate the ancients 😁

![7410AC0A-E3F8-4FDF-B9CF-2A3C16451619.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/23xL9ENK2Wj1UJXzwM32i5EknWVdLcbmsYn6uCVFbkBmVF8QQizxmiJKh8HBfSPYnAkjz.jpeg)

Circles everywhere

![EB0990C8-4959-4FB9-A764-48EEA4F57BE7.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scubahead/Eqay94VwAvcgvNSm3xU9GcXWJuEdspKX1gavPDxd7eoW9yvADUmoyd9T2DoKfbe8ojD.jpeg)

Safe to say @millycf1976 was blown away by it all!

I went there a few years ago, and like you was fascinated to think I could sit on and touch something that is so valuable to mankind.

Love the drone view of the site. Thanks for it.

Yeah it’s kinda crazy how accessible it is. I was on a mission to get the drone shots so was happy the wind died down that day as the day before and after wouldn’t have been possible

Actually I just saw @millycf1976 post, and now I realise it wasn't Avebury that we went to. It's Stanton Drew, that's really raw and under rated
