"A Sentimental & Practical Guide to Amesbury and Stonehenge" by Lady Antrobus is a guidebook that was likely written in the early 20th century. The work serves as both a sentimental reminiscence and a practical resource for travelers exploring the historic sites of Amesbury and the iconic Stonehenge. The author draws on her knowledge and gratitude towards various contributors to present a rich history intertwined with personal reflections on the picturesque countryside. At the start of the guide, the author introduces the journey from Salisbury to Amesbury, highlighting notable landmarks like Old Sarum and emphasizing the charm of the surrounding countryside. Descriptions of Amesbury’s historical significance and its enduring beauty are woven throughout, including keen observations on local architecture, genealogy of influential families, and events steeped in legend. The opening portion paints a vivid picture of both the historical context and the quaint allure of the area, setting the stage for readers looking to explore these remarkable sites.
