Pagan Eye: West Kennet and Silbury Hill

This is another of the photos I took of West Kennet Long Barrow at the Winter Solstice, you can see Silbury Hill in the distance.

West Kennet Long Barrow is one of the largest and most impressive Neolithic chambered tombs in England. It was built around 3650BC and was used as a burial chamber for 50 people. The long barrow forms part of the complex of ancient ritual sites at Avebury, in Wiltshire. It is well worth a visit.

My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting - seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures.

If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.
