Amesbury is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It is most famous for the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge which is in its parish, and for the discovery of the Amesbury Archer—dubbed the King of Stonehenge in the press—in 2002. It has been confirmed by archaeologists that it is the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the United Kingdom, having been first settled around 8820 BC.
King Alfred the Great left it in his will, a copy of which is in the British Library, to his youngest son Aethelweard (c.880-922). Eleanor of Provence, queen of England, died in Amesbury on 24 or 25 June 1291, and was buried in Amesbury Abbey. The parish includes the hamlets of Ratfyn and West Amesbury, and most of Boscombe Down military airfield.
Amesbury is located in southern Wiltshire, 7 miles (11 km) north of Salisbury on the A345. It sits in the River Avon valley on the southern fringes of Salisbury Plain and has historically been considered an important river crossing area on the road from London to Warminster and Exeter. This has continued into the present with the building of the A303 across the Avon next to the town. Originally the town developed around the water meadows next to several bends in the river, but in time has spread onto the valley hillsides and absorbed part of the military airfield at Boscombe Down.
The land around Amesbury has been settled since prehistoric times, evidenced by the monument of Stonehenge. Other finds in the parish point to large scale prehistoric structures and settlements in the whole area, including Bluestonehenge at West Amesbury, the numerous other monuments around Stonehenge, the discovery of a Neolithic village in the neighbouring parish of Durrington by the Stonehenge Riverside Project, and continuing excavations at Boscombe Down where Wessex Archaeology found the Amesbury Archer and Boscombe Bowmen. They are now on display at Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum. Amesbury is recognized as the oldest continuously occupied UK settlement.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary and St Melor is Grade I listed. It dates from the 12th century but was restored by William Butterfield in 1852-3. Amesbury Methodist Church was built in 1900, replacing an 1816 chapel. Christ the King Catholic church opened in 1985, replacing a 1933 building on a different site. Amesbury Baptist Church was built in 1997.
The mansion known as Amesbury Abbey is Grade I listed. It was built in 1834-1840 by architect Thomas Hopper for Sir Edmund Antrobus and replaced a house built in 1661 by John Webb for the 2nd Duke of Somerset. Diana's House and Kent House, gatehouses to the Abbey from the early 17th century, are both Grade II* listed. West Amesbury House is from the 15th century and is Grade I listed; it was remodelled in the early 20th century by Detmar Blow.

Military personnel remove van connected with Amesbury couple poisoning
MailOnline has obtained CCTV of Mr Rowley (left), who is said to be on the brink of death, as it was revealed his girlfriend Dawn Sturgess, 44, (right) passed away in Salisbury last night. Mr Rowley (inset), who had the highest concentrations of the nerve agent on his hands, is seen buying cans of super-strong lager and sharing a laugh with the cashier, who takes his money and packs up the alcohol for him. The couple, who were heavy drinkers and drug takers, are believed to have picked up a syringe or vial of the nerve agent dumped by the assassins sent to kill Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. It came as Scotland Yard said it 'cannot offer any guarantees' that others won't be poisoned and revealed a red van travelled in by Mr Rowley on the day he fell ill has been sent to Porton Down for testing. Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the head of Britain's counter-terror police, said that Miss Sturgess' death is being treated as murder but admitted they still haven't found the vessel containing one of the world's deadliest poisons.

Amesbury and Military Light Railway - Railway Shorts
First in another playlist Railway Shorts. There will be a little of everything in here from Light Railways, Branch Lines, and informative videos that don't fit elsewhere!
Today we tried to find as much of the old Amesbury and Military Camp Light Railway. Ultimately built by LSWR despite early competition from GWR. Both companies wanted to build a line across the plan but for various reasons this line only made it as far as Bulford Camp.
We didn't explore the camp or much beyond Newton Tony owing to the following:
1) Amesbury station is now a Tesco Car Park.
2) The yard for the above is a small Industrial Estate.
3) You are not allowed to film or photograph close to Boscombe.
4) We didn't feel it appropriate to film close to Boscombe camp.
Anyway... questions as per the video:
1) Does anyone have any more info on this line other than what can be found on wiki!?
2) What are we looking out for when trying to find old remains of a Roman Road?
Enjoy.

The Druids & Secrets of the British Isles [Filmed in Ireland & England]
Jonny Enoch travels across Ireland and England to ask experts about the origin of the druids, and who built the great megalithic henges? Our journey begins in Ireland by following David Halpin, a writer and researcher for Ancient Origins magazine, into the hills of Wicklow to see Castleruddery circle. Then we met up with Julie, a British historian and megalithic expert, at Stonehenge on the Salisbury plain in Amesbury, England, where we discussed the druids, neolithic monuments around the UK and more.
Jonny then examined druidic artifacts found at the ring of Kerry. While driving around, we also discovered a hidden stone circle in a nearby farmer's field. Other highlights include an enlightening conversation with Thomas Coyne, a Celtic lore and Ogham expert, at the Poulnabrone burial tomb in Dolmen, County Clare. Finally, we wandered into the bookstore at the Hill of Tara to speak with Moros about ancient Irish history and the druids. All that and more in this exciting adventure!
