The sun has already dipped low over the chalk of Salisbury Plain when your coach pulls into the quiet car park and the field exhales around you. A guide points the beam of a headlamp toward the great sarsen stones, and for the next hour the circle, normally cordoned off, feels immediate—stone faces cool under your palms and the horizon opens like a pale map.
