No one built these for 5,000 years ... until now

What finer way to welcome the warmth of sunlit days than to wander amidst ancient longbarrows, those sacred Neolithic burial chambers, Belas Knapp and Wayland's Smithy*, nestled in the bucolic embrace of the Cotswolds?

*Wayland, the legendary armourer of Beowulf, who is said to shoe horses or repair swords for a sixpenny piece left on his stone.
