Poor old Stonehenge, it's not it's fault is so soulless. I know it's been said that each generation get's the Stonehenge it deserves, but really ?
I should love the place, but i hate it and have very little interest in it. :(


I can't say I hate it. Or even dislike it. It's a prehistoric monument after all! And a pretty fantastic one.
Its a shame the way it has come to represent ancient history in Britain, being, as Burl (sort of) says, as representational to write about in terms of stone circles as the dodo is in writing a book about birds.



But i have so much love for Avebury !


Same here! No contest between the two.
Avebury, for me, is dreamland. I still can't quite get over the fact its there and you can walk around it. But I often feel like that, even with a lonely barrow or a dolmen sat in the middle of a field.



I'm not saying it never happens but i've never seen anyone knocking lumps off the Avebury stones, yet EH feel the need to protect Stonehenge so vociferously ? Burn the rope and free the soul i say !
