Where can we find crop circles?
All over the world. In England, USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Israel, Australia, India, Japan, Canada.
England however is the 'cradle' of crop circles: the place where most patterns appear each year.
with Wiltshire at the top
Why certain places attract crop circles over and over again, is still a difficult question to answer. It seems that the presence of leylines (earth energy lines around and across the earth) play an important part. Our ancesters were very much aware of these energy lines; they built their sacres sites (such as burial mounds, long barrows, stone circles and pyramids) on places where powerful leylines crossed each other, thus forming leycentres. Maybe that's why so many crop circles appear in South England, where we can find a multitude of strong leycentres. Stonehenge is a very good example: situated in the heart of the crop circle area. Another example of such a powerful place is the East Field at Alton Barnes (Wiltshire), where at least one (and often two) beautiful and complex crop formations appear each year.

Yet it remains remarkable that some places receive many crop formations in certain years, after which the amount suddenly drops. This can even occur on a national scale. For instance in the Netherlands where 1996 had a total amount of 99 crop circles. In 1997 however the amount dropped to 41. How this works precisely is still a question unanswered...
Apart from leylines, the soil and water level seem to be of influence as well. For instance, the chalk soil in Wiltshire is highly permeable, which easily inducts an electrical current. This current helps to conduct the crop circle energy.

And for those who are interested in my country, here is the distribution of crop circles in the Netherlands up to today:
