What a great day out! I went mainly to see the Magna Carta but was surprised to discover a fantastic art and sculpture collection. The highlights for me being a sculpture by Anthony Gormley, the amazing font and a magnificent tapestry by Grayson Perry, the worlds oldest working clock and of course the Magna Carta. All the staff inside the Cathedral were helpful and friendly but Rob stood out as a fantastic curator. Thanks Rob for taking us back into the Cathedral to view the rear of the tapestry which we hadn't spotted. Oh and of course its a beautiful cathedral.....

This mysterious stone circle is thought to have been constructed in Neolithic times between 2500 to 2000 BC by The Beaker people, who might have played a major role in the formation of another eerie ancient site at Stonehenge.

In many ways more impressive than Stonehenge, and such a lot to see. It's great to get up close and walk amongst and indeed touch the stones, also a beautiful picturesque village with pub, church, manor house and museum barn. Easily enough for a half day, or perhaps a full day. If you enjoy walking and exploring our history, a 5 mile circuit also taking in Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow makes a full and fine day!
5. Devils Den

Reviewed By DaveWomble - Chippenham, United Kingdom
This is one of those deserted places with a startling piece of ancient history. A remarkable place to visit. The cap stone is enormous - I read somewhere that it is 17 tonnes - and somewhat extraordinary nested in a valley which is fairly remote from other places. If you want a special experience with stones, this is it. I walked up the steep hill from Fyfield and then back down to the Den, and then walked back along the flat (shorter distance) to the A4 a little further East towards Marlborough (SU 156 688). This is the easiest route but you’ll need wellies after heavy rain because it was flooded for a short distance.

I love Marlborough and the High Street is quaint yet functional with a great mix of quirky and useful shops, and lots of places to eat and drink.

The locks are both an amazing feat of engineering and beautiful, with the reservoirs housing all manner of wildlife. What made our experience best of all were the Canal and River Trust volunteers who helped us achieve the flight in near record time! Cheery and informative.. we had a great day. Thank you

Country house with monastic roots, once home to William Henry Fox Talbot The Abbey, located at the heart of the village within its own woodland grounds, is a quirky country house of various architectural styles, built upon the foundations of a former nunnery. Visitors can experience the atmosphere of the medieval rooms and cloister court, giving a sense of the Abbey's monastic past. The museum celebrates the achievements of former Lacock resident, William Henry Fox Talbot, famous for his contributions to the invention of photography.
