I wonder if it's a case of where you start the journey... OK maybe I should say "in my experience it depends on where I start the journey." :)

For example... In Avebury, if I start from the National Trust Zone (NW sector) I tend to follow the circle in an anti-clockwise route. And if I have a wander from, say, the Megameet Zone (SE sector) then I'll generally follow it clockwise. Unless I'm heading back to the car park.

Boskawen-Un - anti-clockwise, Long Meg & Her Daughter - clockwise, Rempstone -
clockwise, Castlerigg - either direction, actually... Callanish - same. I'll not go through them all. ;)

I'd not really thought about it in any detail, and will probably continue to not do so. ;) Except now of course I'll notice it. :D

I tend to park up by the Church, willfully ignoring the signs, (such a rebel) and then take a left towards the NT bit and go up the stairs. So thats.. clockwise. (Had to think then. Christ, that must be age).
