Lay Wood Serpent

Lay Wood, near Devizes, Wiltshire

Three linked circles that some saw as a coiled serpent.

In July 2022 a formation of three circles joined by curving loops appeared near Lay Wood, beside the Kennet and Avon Canal. People saw different things in it: a snake biting its own tail, a triple star, or two snakes twined like a herald's staff.
