A low-slung Wiltshire dawn opens over chalk downs as the coach eases out of London and the landscape loosens into fields and long horizons. Arriving at Avebury, walkers step into a village built inside its own prehistoric ring; the stones lean and watch like old neighbors while the grass underfoot still remembers ancient footsteps.
