Stonehenge & 29 canal locks

Interesting trip to Stonehenge via Devizes where the Wiltshire Heritage Museum is full of interesting facts and artefacts from Stonehenge.  Our friends had pre-booked a special access visit to go inside the great stone circle, a spooky experience on a winter evening.  If you want to do the same here's the English Heritage website.

We'd also seen the astonishing flight of locks at Caen Hill, Devizes.
(29 locks in 2 miles).  You have to operate them yourself so it must take an age to get up or down in your narrowboat.
