I’ve been 3 times to Avebury now (I’m from The Netherlands), but this site hits me all over again every time. I like it far better than Stonehenge or Stanton Drew.

Though it’s such a touristic site, there are enough times when one can be almost alone. The atmosphere here is much more peaceful. Stanton is almost desolate and Stonehenge, well, maybe I just feel out of place there, on that wide plain, as if trespassing in the cathedral of another religion. Avebury doesn’t have that feling, for me at least. When they’re a bit older, I’ll bring the kids, too.
