Crop Circles
As well as superb walking and sightseeing, Wiltshire also offers you the opportunity to see the strange phenomena of crop circles for yourselves. These huge patterns formed in the summer fields are best viewed by air although can sometimes be seen whilst out walking or driving. Indeed, if you can manage to locate them, you may find yourself close enough to walk inside one. People come all over the world to view these beautiful formations and what better base than here in the centre of the county?
The Summer Crop Circle Lectures for 2012 take place in Devizes between the 27th and 29th July 2012. We are now full during that weekend but have some availability before and after.
We welcomed guests from the USA, Canada and England during the 2010 and 2011 conferences and we were fortunate to have a crop circle up on Roundway Hill both years. The 2010 circle was huge and attracted much interest - see photos below left. I was very lucky to be invited by guests to join them on a helicopter flight over many of the circles - although Roundway was out of their range. We flew with Fast Helicopters. Again, see photos below right. Another guest who was here for the conference took a microlight flight with local company the Wiltshire Microlight Centre and did fly over the Devizes circle. For photos of 2011 circles, see here.
There is a further conference in July in Marlborough, the Wiltshire Crop Circles Study group’s Circles of Knowledge Conference between 13th & 15th July (in the past this was held in August ). At the moment we have availability during that weekend. Their website is here.
We can help arrange a flight over the county to ensure you see as many as possible. In 2009 2 of our guests took microlight flights over Wiltshire with GS Aviation and Jill said it was ‘the best hour of my life’. Later, she and her friend Vince were able to find a couple of the circles which they could then explore on foot. Vince kindly wrote a full report about their visit, which can be found in a newsletter here.
