  • The Avebury Triangle
    Dec 3 2025

    On todays FolkLands episode we explore the mysteries and wonders of one of our favourite places in the world, Avebury stone circle.


    Teeming with retro hauntology and childhood memories of the Children of the Stones, these great sarsens were also the haunt of Derek Jarman and JRR Tolkien amongst many others.


    Come with us we traverse the wild Wiltshire landscape with friend of the show Ed Parnell, completing our own Avebury triangle with Silbury Hill and the West Kennet Long Barrow.


    Rufus Jones also takes us into Hardy country with an eerie reading from Tess of the d'urbervilles.


    Enjoy!
