West Kennet Long Barrow






West Kennet Chambered Tomb (Avebury Wiltshire )

Getting down to Avebury was on top of the Megalithic site list . 
The place and the area surrounding the place is absolutely mind blowing . So much to see . So little time .  Which meant not everything on my list was checked off . Will return sometime .
