Phil Harding & Pat Shelley tour of Stonehenge.
Join Time Team favourite Phil Harding and expert guide Pat Shelley for a unique exploration of the Stonehenge landscape at an exclusive Council for British Archaeology (CBA) and English Heritage (EH) members’ event on Sunday 19 April 2015.
The pair will lead a walk through some of the enigmatic elements of the landscape, combining rich archaeological background with personal anecdotes and replica artefacts. The walk will take an hour and a half, and highlights will include round barrows at nearby Fargo Woods and the Cursus barrow group, before visiting the Cursus itself. The culmination of the walk will see our group descending into Stonehenge Bottom before walking up the Avenue to Stonehenge.
CBA and EH members will meet at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre where they can enjoy complimentary refreshments before beginning the walk at 11.30am. Participants should wear suitable clothing and footwear for the walk, and be of a reasonable level of fitness. Please note that this is a walk around the wider Stonehenge landscape putting the monument into its context, and does not include access into the stones themselves.
Tickets for this CBA and EH members’ event are just £30 per head, but are now sold out. Proceeds from the walk will go towards supporting the work of the Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC).
