Stepping from a quiet coach compound into the cool Wiltshire air, the stones rise before you like time made visible. The grass underfoot smells of chalk and spring; the Heel Stone leans as if listening for voices from another age. Inside the Inner Circle the scale and precision of these Neolithic monoliths sharpen: faces of weathered sarsen stone, shadowed gaps where light and astronomies once aligned.
