1. Avebury Stone Circle
Overall Ratings
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!

Nice 10-15 min walk from lay by mostly uphill to the Long Barrow which has large stones at the entrance where you can squeeze past to enter the chambers. It is very dark inside but can see several rooms branching off. Worth a look inside. Standing on the top of the site is a lovely view of Silbury Hill in the distance.

Reviewed By Middletonlass - Banbury, United Kingdom
Wasn't expecting much but this place is brilliant. The house has themed rooms from various eras with either original or copies of the type of furniture used. You can sit on the furniture and touch most things. Great for kids and adults alike. Informative, helpful staff. The house and gardens are on timed tickets. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained, there is currently a sculpture exhibition with items scattered all around the garden. There is also a dovecot, archaealogical exhibition, access to the numerous stones, good parking and a lovely cafe.

Stopped here for a bite to eat in our small campervan on the way back from our short break away. Car park has nice shaded area underneath trees. A short, flat walk to the viewpoint with an information sign about the hill and it’s history. Lovely spot for a picnic or to stretch your legs. There is also a nice walk and views of the hill from nearby West Kennet Longbarrow and that’s worth a stop too.
