West Kennet Avenue

These fine Autumn days are too rare and precious to spend indoors so when Thursday turned out to be so fine, as soon as I could break out of home I headed back towards Avebury with some paperwork and cameras. This time I parked at the bottom of West Kennet Avenue, that connected the henge to the Sanctuary with a row of sarsen stones.

At this time of year, the stones have to share their sacred space with some cattle, as well as the line of tourists, goths, hippies and pagans that flock along it, to and from the henge and stone circle, and by the likes of me, who use them as a backrest while they read and write and take photographs.

Some of the junior bulls among this mixed herd were quite frisky and let me stroke their noses before tossing their heads in mild irritation.
