Avebury’s past to be on TV
Presenter Tony Robinson and his production team battled the elements at Avebury stone circle to film part of the four-part series Walking Through History.
Avebury’s past to be on TV
Last week the team visited various locations in the county for the Wiltshire episode of the series, which looks at some of Britain’s most historic landscapes.
Other areas visited in Wiltshire included Devizes, Silbury Hill, the Kennet long barrows and Stonehenge.
Photographer Nicola Salt from Cadley was at the Avebury stones when the filming took place.
She said: “I spoke to someone from the production team and they said they’d really enjoyed the visit. It’s great to see Wiltshire get the recognition it deserves – when you live here you don’t appreciate how lucky you are.”
