You arrive across the low Wiltshire plain under a wide, cool sky. Wind moves through the grass and carries the soft scrape of footsteps as your private guide leads you down the approach toward the stone circle. Up close the sarsen blocks are massive and mute, but their placement feels deliberate, like a map of the sky carved into earth.
