You step off the coach into a cool English morning, the city noise thinning as the spire of Windsor slips into view. The stone of the Castle reads centuries in its weathered faces; later the landscape opens into the chalk plain around Stonehenge, where upright sarsens puncture the horizon and the wind seems to push history forward.
