In a place with a history that dates back 5,000 years but which is visited by thousands of people every year can there be any mystery left? The answer is yes. Nearby Avebury is a fascinating, enchanted place. In the near distance, Silbury Hill dominates the skyline, but there is a small spring that nestles not far away from these eye-catching sites. This is Swallow Spring, and as the photo below shows, many consider it to be a place of healing.
Scattered around in other secluded places are similarly decorated trees, bearing gifts and messages, perhaps a tradition that dates back – how long? Five thousand years perhaps, who knows. In its own way, a mystery as great as those linked to Avebury and Silbury Hill.
