Sheep.
Sheep, sheep and more sheep.Was in Avebury and Devizes yesterday. Numerous sheeps (yeah there are 2 kinds: white and black. There are really black sheep.)
Was in Stonehenge today: even more sheeps.
Comparing the two sites, I would say that Avebury is definitely more charming. The stones there are not as big, but the general structures there are much bigger, grander and well-preserved. The most significant difference is that you get to walk among the stones in Avebury but not in Stonehenge...

Two white sheep and one black sheep:
The English countryside certainly has its charm. It was like Agatha Christie's characters and settings coming to life. I have encountered and chatted with an old English couple; the man was a very typical English gentleman and the lady, well, a very typical English lady, just like how the stories depicted them. And the inns really bear names like 'The Red Lion', "The Swan', 'The Pelican', etc... and most have a longer history than Hopkins :P
And endless wheatfields! Had a nice time walking through them yesterday in Avebury, when the wheather was cool and the fields slightly damp :)
Though it was at Stonehenge that I saw grass making up the horizon for the first time...
