After parking and tucking into a
mid-journey snack, I joined up with English
Heritage and wandered about the make-shift neo-lithic village. There was
also a lot of construction work on alongside some unfinished and closed
exhibits in the visitor’s centre. After setting off down the main road towards the
site; I realised that a round trip would take forty minutes to complete, so I turned
back and got into the queue for the courtesy shuttle that was included in the
admission ticket. When I got to the site, the main stones were roped off and
there was a very worn circular path which we had to follow in a clockwise
direction. Even though it was only April, there were quite a few international visitors
around. Nevertheless, I was still awed by the majesty of the site, and in the
gift shop I bought a miniature model in a tin alongside my standard keyring.
What was stranger was that on my way out; there were a number of people in
suits just lounging about in the car park.
