Good to see this post, am a great believer in walking to ancient sites as part 'a walk' if possible (not for everyone I do realise) it always heightens the sense of achievement and you see so much else in the way of flora/fauna (and weather) on route. It doesn't have to be as long as 10 miles which is more a hike than a walk - one of my favourite recollections was the walk across fields from St Buryan to Boscawen-un in April two years ago. Not really very long but intensely rewarding.
You've summed up my feelings there June but I add a little twist to it. I never view any site as a 'stand alone' structure/feature until I know for sure what lies around it as it may be part of a larger picture in the landscape. The 'walk-in' can be very informative and may give you a greater understanding of what you are looking at.
