A semi-steal from Simon Reynolds, Derek Jarman's 1971 short A Journey To Avebury, with a soundtrack recorded by Coil in the 1990s.
Journey to avebury

These stones immediately made me think of those in ITV's 1976 cult children's drama,
Children of the Stones, a sort-of magical realist Wicker Man for kids. Hardly surprising given they are the same 5000 years old stones in Avebury.
(The seven episode series is currently up on YouTube in its entirety).
A third and final trip through Avebury is offered up here by a Shell film with narration from John Betjemen.
Nice! Another good one:
