The Hidden Labyrinth at The Sanctuary

Some places are dramatic the moment you arrive. Others are much quieter and seem to reveal themselves slowly.

The Sanctuary at Avebury was like that for me.

It sits within an extraordinary landscape, close to Avebury, Silbury Hill and the West Kennet Avenue, but compared with the great stones at Avebury it can seem quite understated. Today, what you see are markers showing where circles of timber posts and stones once stood.

I had been there before, but on this particular visit I went in with my dowsing rods and asked a very simple question:

“Please show me what I need to know.”
