Avebury is an extraordinary place in the North Wiltshire & Wessex Downs AONB. One of many Neolithic sites in the area, this stone circle is large enough to encircle part of the village.

Many of the stones have names and myths attached to them and there were 100 when it was first built between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago. In the vicinity lies West Kennet Long Barrow, Silbury Hill (a prehistoric fort) and numerous other standing stones and long barrows. Stonehenge lies to the south near Amesbury; a more famous but smaller circle in diameter.

You can visit Avebury's stone circle for free and there are plenty of footpaths passing through which will take you to the other nearby remnants of prehistory.

A must see on King Alfred's Way - some would argue that this is a much more impressive site than Stonehenge (and I'd agree).

Avebury is a very impressive Neolithic site. It's great that you can get up close and touch the stones. Plus, it's free to enter. Well worth locking your bikes and strolling around the full site if you're interested.
