Happy St George's Day!
St George is the patron saint of England. He famously fought the dragon and is the patron saint of knights and soldiers amongst others.
It is somehow fitting that St George's Day is also the traditionally recognized birthday of William Shakespeare, England's greatest playwright, in 1564. He also died on this day in 1616!

The ancient monument of Stonehenge is world famous. But there is another, even more impressive, intricate set of stone circles not far away at Avebury. This is a very mystical place where, unlike at Stonehenge, you can get up close and even touch - or hug - these ancient monoliths!
And right in the middle of these ancient stones there is a village with a chocolate-box pretty thatched pub, the Red Lion.
Unfortunately there is no overnight accommodation here but perhaps that is just as well, as it claims to be one of the most haunted pubs in the country!
