Wiltshire & Avebury

We turn out to be the only visitors requesting a tour of the Wadworth Brewery in Wiltshire so we get some very personal attention.   Within the brewing complex is a sign and painting shop where pub signs are still  created & maintained by a few dedicated artisans.    Wadworth also still delivers kegs to local pubs via horse cart and a stable is on the grounds.    Max & Monty (the horses) handle deliveries now.    They have great benefits – 2 weeks’ vacation in the countryside. With beer!

A visit to the much-anticipated Avebury circle, a Neolithic henge monument consumes our afternoon.   Avebury contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world.     It was constructed over several hundred years during the New Stone Age and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.     Awesome.
