Our hearts go out to the ancient landscape at Westbury White Horse and Bratton Camp today as firefighters battle the blaze raging across the hills.
Wiltshire’s chalk hills, ancient monuments, and sacred sites have stood watch over these lands for millennia, connected by the same soil, stone, and spirit. To see the earth burning so close to such a cherished landmark is a heavy sight for all of us who care for these ancient places.

Thank you to the brave crews from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service and the emergency responders battling challenging conditions and terrain to protect the landscape and local wildlife.

The lands are dangerously dry under this intense heatwave. Whether you are walking the henges at Avebury, visiting Bratton Camp, or exploring the Ridgeway, please exercise extreme caution:

Zero open flames: Strictly no barbecues, campfires, or sky lanterns.
Dispose of rubbish carefully: Glass bottles can act as magnifying glasses in direct sunlight and spark fires instantly.

Ci******es: Please ensure all smoking materials are completely extinguished and never dropped on dry grass.

Please respect the emergency services and avoid the Westbury White Horse area while crews continue their crucial work.
May the rains come soon to cool the chalk, nourish the earth, and restore peace to the hills. Stay safe, everyone.

Unfortunately, Toby won’t be able to make it to Avebury today as planned, and he sends his sincere apologies to everyone.

​I hope you all have a wonderful day! For those attending Gary’s talks at Castlefest, you’re in for a treat—he’s an incredibly knowledgeable and captivating speaker, not just on Avebury and its landscape, but on so much more. Have a fantastic time!
