A winter wonderland indeed, incredible photo, the snow really helps to define the structure and its surroundings, must have been great fun out in the snow. Posted by costaexpress

Wow! How can I not comment? And how did you get out there - didn't think the bus was running and I KNOW you don't own a 4x4. Pristine, beautiful photo of one of my favourite places ... home x tjj Posted by tjj

Thank you for all the nice comments.

It was one of the most memorable trips I've had to Avebury, the snow in places was knee deep and quite hard going, particularly on the path between Waden and the Kennet.

tjj, I came on the usual 49 (I think it didn't run Friday but was back on yesterday). I was a bit surprised to get off the train at Swindon to find the platform still covered in snow!
