We've several delegates on this week's course who are visiting the UK from overseas, and haven't been to Wiltshire before ... and the other delegates are staying with us. But the daylight is still short, and touring at night is cold and you can't see much.
So we started early today, then extended our lunch break and took a short tour around.

Silbury Hill - 4600 years old, and it's still a mystery why it was built

The avenue of stones leading to Avebury Circle

Lunch was eaten inside! The Red Lion, Avebury.
