'Exploring Avebury* is really excellent, being quite clearly the best current introduction and guide to the whole monumental complex: up to date, consistently fair-minded and superbly illustrated.'* - Prof. Ronald Hutton, historian
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, this updated edition of Exploring Avebury includes the latest research and 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.
