<p>My daughter and I went for a walk around the ancient landscape around Avebury.  We started our walk at Silbury Hill.  <br />
<br />
Silbury Hill is a prehistoric artificial chalk mound near Avebury in the English county of Wiltshire. It is part of the Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites UNESCO World Heritage Site. At 39.3 metres (129 ft) high, the hill is the tallest and second largest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe and one of the largest in the world; it is similar in volume to contemporary Egyptian pyramids. The site is in the care of English Heritage.<br />
<br />
Silbury Hill is part of the complex of Neolithic monuments around Avebury, which includes the Avebury Ring and West Kennet Long Barrow. Its original purpose is still debated. Several other important Neolithic monuments in Wiltshire, including the large henges at Marden and Salisbury Plain (Stonehenge), may be culturally or functionally related to Avebury and Silbury.</p>

<p>The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is one of only two deer species native to Britain, the other being red deer. It is Britain's smallest indigenous deer, standing around 60–75 cm at the shoulder and weighing roughly 10–25 kg. Roe are primarily woodland animals, favouring deciduous, mixed and coniferous woods, particularly woodland edges where cover is close to open feeding areas. They also make extensive use of scrub, hedgerows, heathland, farmland, young plantations and, increasingly, suitable parks and urban green spaces. They are generally solitary or seen in small groups, although several may gather in good feeding areas during winter. Bucks develop short, usually three-pointed antlers, while the characteristic white rump is particularly conspicuous when a deer is alarmed.<br />
<br />
Roe deer are now widespread across mainland Britain, with particularly strong populations in Scotland and much of England. They are less numerous in Wales and remain locally scarce in parts of the Midlands and eastern Kent, although their range continues to expand. Historically, hunting and habitat changes caused their disappearance from much of England and Wales, leaving Scotland as their principal stronghold; subsequent reintroductions, together with the expansion of woodland, allowed the species to recolonise large areas. Today roe are common and locally abundant, and the absence of large natural predators means that high densities can cause significant browsing pressure on woodland regeneration.</p>

Was probably in use during the summer.<br />

The NEC is now NEC Campus and on the NEC's 50th anniversary they did a PR rebranding from National Exhibition Centre to the Nation's Experience Capital.<br />
