West Kennet Long Barrow, Avebury

Incredible place and atmosphere. Clearly still a significant site for many people with pilgrimage to this site evident in and out of the barrow. The walk from Avebury to this site was nothing other than breathtaking. My imagination was lit up by this place and its history. it is a very well preserved site and you can freely explore the barrow. There was a pleasant aroma on entering which I was taken aback by. It must have been left over from a previous visitor who was using some incense, this invoked images of how similar scents might have been present in the past. Will definitely visit again

Not sure where you are supposed to approach this site from? We luckily visited just before sunset and parked at the corner of a farmers field, which is surely not the done thing usually. Really impressive site, it's great to be able to enter the chamber and imagine what this was used for. Still blows my mind how they engineered this stuff with primitive tools at their disposal.
