I'm so glad Orkney is where it is, ie too far for the casual tourist to bother. Wouldn't it be depressing to have to get a "land train" to see a fenced off Brodgar?

It's such a fantastic thing that Avebury has managed to remain completely open access. I hope that never changes.



You can be sure that it would be fenced off and £20 for access if the village didn't exist.


Yeah, I can well imagine. Thank goodness it is there.


Especially seeing as it has an (albeit crap) pub ;)


Its bloody criminal that that pub is so shite! Such a waste. It should be one of the greatest pubs in the country.

Indeed. A small part of me dies every time I hand over my money in that place. But then they have a (large) captive market, so they don't need to make any effort.


I always go to the Waggon & Horses at Beckhampton.
Decent place and if its nice weather you can sit in the garden with a view of Silbury (just!)
