A friend emailed me to say Countrytracks on Sunday morning was set exclusively in Wiltshire. The first item has the presenter Helen Skelton climbing Silbury with Jim Leary (special permission granted).

Next, Tom Fort visits Stonehenge, much about the A303 plus a some black and white footage of the re-erection of stones in the 1950s - 23 stones were re-erected. I for one didn't realise it was that many. Tom Fort makes the point that this would probably not be acceptable today.

Filmed last summer so this may be a repeat. If it is, certainly worth seeing again.


Did it say that these 23 were re-erected in the 50s alone or is this the total since recorded rennovation started?
