The Bear Hotel – where we stayed – built in the 1100s.

Avebury is the largest stone circle in Europe. Hundreds of sarsen stones from the downland around, often weighing over 20 tons, were used in the construction of the site, some 2500 – 2000BC. It is thought that the circles may have taken centuries to complete.

Our “tour guide” Belinda took this pic of us.

Dear friend, Belinda and me. John & Belinda are our biggest reason for visiting England 💕
Took a train to Newbury where we saw this sculpture. Love it!!!
We’ve all seen these pokey things on buildings to keep birds off, Yes? Ha, these pigeons are having no problem camping out amongst all the “barriers”! 😃
Loved this gate leading to the church in Newbury.
These next 3 pics are of locks along the Kennett Avon canal and it was great entertainment to watch the boats coming and going.

Typical scene. Kathy Dailey will know why I’ve chosen this photo in particular!💕

    1. It’s crazy to think about – several generations spent their entire lives moving those stones. Such devotion! Wonder what their motivation was approx 5,000 years ago.
