Avebury's stones

I'd never heard of this other amazing
site of standing stones, near
Stonehenge, ones you can touch. Again, huge circles
of stones, far wider and not as overwhelming as
Stonehenge. From wikipedia:
Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles which is located around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, south west England. Unique amongst megalithic monuments, Avebury contains the largest stone circle in Europe, and is one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain. It is currently used as both a tourist attraction and a place of religious importance to contemporary Pagans.
