3. Avebury Stone Circle

4.5 based on 2,291 reviews
This mysterious stone circle is thought to have been constructed in Neolithic times between 2500 to 2000 BC by The Beaker people, who might have played a major role in the formation of another eerie ancient site at Stonehenge.

In many ways more impressive than Stonehenge, and such a lot to see. It's great to get up close and walk amongst and indeed touch the stones, also a beautiful picturesque village with pub, church, manor house and museum barn. Easily enough for a half day, or perhaps a full day. If you enjoy walking and exploring our history, a 5 mile circuit also taking in Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow makes a full and fine day!
4. Wansdyke

A long ditch and bank, presumed to have been built between 778-825AD, is about 12 miles long and provides hikers with spectacular views of important British archaeology from the tops of Martinsell Hill, Knap Hill, The Tan Hill Way and many other sites of ancient hill forts.
5. Lockeridge Dene and Piggledene

Lockeridge Dene is an unusual and quiet spot just off the A4. It’s well worth a stop off if you’re passing and have any interest in history or geology. There is road site parking next to the gate, though the site itself wouldn’t be suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. In summer, there are cattle grazing here, but in winter the fenced field is empty and you can follow the former riverbed full of tall grasses and enjoy the magic of the stones against a backdrop of thatched cottages and misty hillside. The sarsen stones are 30 million years old and are the building material used for Stonehenge and Avebury. There’s no admission charge or facilities here (though there are nearby pubs), just beautiful, unspoilt countryside.

One of the most important survivals of prehistoric England, Stonehenge consists of a group of huge rough-cut stones, some more than 20 feet high, arranged in two concentric circles.

Excellent Visitors Centre. Well laid out, informative, friendly and helpful staff (which bearing in mind the sheer number of tourists they are dealing with is a miracle!) Really enjoyed seeing this finally and an excellent audio guide which our 9 year old also enjoyed. Numbers of people slightly annoying from time to time but what can you do.... that's life. highly recommended.

By visiting Durrington Walls and nearby Woodhenge a visitor will get the whole of the Stonehenge Experience in some sort of perspective. The role of Durrington Walls in the development of Stonehenge is easier understood and the realisation that the area has to be seen as a whole an not as individual attractions.
