Silbury hill sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Frames not included in price. Free shipping on artwork to UK destinations.

The largest artificial mound in Europe, mysterious Silbury Hill compares in height and volume to the roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramids. Probably completed in around 2400 BC, it apparently contains no burial. Though clearly important in itself, its purpose and significance remain unknown. Silbury Hill is part of the Avebury World Heritage Site, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. #シルブリーヒル #silburyhill #swindon #london #wilshere #cropcircles (Silbury Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CirivXDNyns/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Farewell to beautiful Marlborough and many thanks again to Andrew and all at Marlborough Folk and Roots for having us. When we very first visited, Andrew and Sarah recommended we visit Silbury Hill, and we've gone back at every opportunity since! Today was Rosa's first visit, and we walked up West Kennet Long Barrow and had a picnic. The air was loud with skylarks. It was wonderful. Last few gigs of this tour - we're off to Wells tonight... 19/05/22 Cedar Hall, Wells 20/05/22 Stratford Upon Avon Stratford Play House 21/05/22 St Andrew's Church, Wiveliscombe 22/05/22 SOLD OUT Topsham Folk Club, Matthew's Hall, Topsham  01/07/22 Little Theatre, Chorley #GigspannerBigBand #ontournow #gigsgigsgigs #silburyhill #westkennetlongbarrow #ancientsites #archaeology #skylarks #edgelarks (at Avebury, Wiltshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdvaMGhML91/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Silbury Hill, Avebury. 
Behold the mountain of dirt. It doesn’t seem like much, but these geezers building it didn’t even have shovels. This must of been a hell of a job, fair play.    -TommyC. 
Much like any hill this is best appreciated from afar. Luckily just across the road is the West Kennet Long Barrow which I highly recommend! Silbury Hill is the largest artificial hill in Europe and is probably contemporary with the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids. This is another one of those mysterious archaeology sites that has no known purpose. Your guess as to its significance is just as good as anybody’s -RoxyB. 
Cost: Free
Entry: Any time during reasonable daylight hours. 
Visited 66/7255 on our jaunts....

Walking up Waden Hill from West Kennet Avenue, looking back behind you from Waden Hill, and then reaching the top of Waden Hill and seeing the Silbury mound there before you.

Silbury Hill Downland Man The last time I visited, as a student, you could climb to the top, as I did, and let the imagination run. These s days, sensibly, there’s no public access. But still such a magnificent sight, and site. The largest man-made mound in Europe! #silbury #silburyhill #neolithic #leylines #prehistory #ericravilious https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGCHBqh1Uj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9szfo69vn4ff

⁣ Canon EOS 250D | 62mm | 1/200s | f/14 | ISO 100⁣ Taken on 20/08/2020.⁣ ⁣ The largest artificial prehistoric mound in Europe, mysterious Silbury Hill compares in height and volume to the roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramids.⁣ ⁣ Probably completed in around 2400 BC, Silbury Hill is one of the most intriguing monuments in the prehistoric landscape of the Avebury World Heritage Site, standing 30 metres high and 160 metres wide.⁣ ⁣ Its purpose and meaning for the late Neolithic people who built it are unknown, but its enduring presence in the landscape has inspired myths and legends as people have sought to explain its significance.⁣ ⁣ The construction of Silbury Hill is estimated to have involved about 4 million man hours of work. Half a million tonnes of material, mostly chalk, were used to create it.⁣ ⁣ While it is not known why this huge man-made hill was built, it was presumably during a time of great change when new forms of pottery, new burial rites and the first metal-working arrived in Britain. It was probably a special place, where people gathered for events and episodes of building.⁣ ⁣ Whatever the reason behind its construction, you can't deny that Silbury Hill is a stunning piece of British landscape and an eye-catching landmark.⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:⁣ ⁣ Take a train from London Paddington station to Swindon with 'GWR'. Then catch the nr. 49 bus with 'Stagecoach West' and get off at Avebury. Silbury Hill is roughly 20 minutes away on foot.⁣ ______________________________________⁣ ⁣ #England #Britain #GreatBritain #UnitedKingdom #Landscape_Captures #SilburyHill #IgersWiltshire #VisitWiltshire #CountryFile #BBCTravel #CnTraveller #JustGoShoot #TravelOn #FlashesOfDelight #OurPlanetDaily #EarthPics #Jaw_Dropping_Shots #TravelAwesome #EnglishHeritage #BestDestinations #TravelGrammer #InstaTravel #ExploreBritain #VisitEngland #Tourism #AdventureMore #Throwback #LonelyPlanet #InstaBritain #PhotosOfBritain (at Silbury Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLxQNZAlj4Q/?igshid=mycfym9ak8f7
