1 . Avebury is near the far more famous Stonehenge. What is interesting about it is that a village has grown up around the stones, unlike Stonehenge, which stands alone. Avebury and Stonehenge are just two of about 1,300 stone circles all over the UK. Many of them are in fantastic locations, like Castlering in Cumbria, from which you can see England’s highest mountain; and the Ring of Brodgar in the beautiful Orkney Island, off Scotland’s northern coast.
Some of them are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and several have local stories connected to them. For example, the Merry Maidens in West Cornwall is a group of nineteen stones. According to the story, they were young women — maidens — who were turned into stone for dancing on a Sunday.
Early historians thought that the stone circles were temples for the people who arrived in the UK in about 500 BC. Later research has shown that they are far older than that, at least 4,000 years old. Stonehenge could have been built 5,000 years ago, but it’s still nowhere near as old as the nearby wooden circle built about 10,000 years ago. Some experts believe they acted like calendars and have shown that some stones line up with sunrise or sunset on the longest and shortest days of the year. Others believe they were places for the dead bodies of the local rich and powerful.
We may never know why they were built, but each one leaves the visitor with a strong sense of the shortness of our existence in the sea of history. There are groups of stone circles and other prehistoric (史前的) monuments throughout the British Isles, so wherever you are staying you should include at least one in your tour.

3 . Necessary things for travel
Personal alarm
VIA AMAZON. COM
$14.99
When you're traveling alone, particularly to a place that you know little about, it's important to give yourself peace of mind in terms of safety. A wearable personal safety alarm is a great idea.
It hugely adds to your sense of control on many a dark street and crowded public space. You can sleep with it under your pillow no matter what country you are in.
Portable charger
VIA AMAZON. COM
$27.95
With our phones acting as our lifelines, traveling with one at low battery can make you stressful and, if an emergency （紧急 情况）occurs, even dangerous.

Hand sanitiser (消毒液)
VIA AMAZON. COM
$12.99
As a traveler, you should always carry hand sanitiser. It's small enough that you can't even notice it in a pocket of your bag, and it's totally fine to take through any airport. When it comes to hygiene-related (卫生相关的) emergencies, you really can't do without it. Believe it or not, alcohol- based hand sanitiser can even help you get a fire started, which could, of course, be important in a survival situation.
