Nice little cut through to avoid the main roads to and through Marlborough. It can get quite busy past the college entrance, so caution and slow speeds is advised.

Car park gates locked at 7pm but parking is free

Hike a bike for me on my gravel bike to get up here from the west but worth it, the views are stunning and the archeology very interesting

Beautiful lil town, some lovely walks through the trees too

A quiet little area where Van dwellers are. they are peaceful and friendly. I sleep here at nights when in the area. Late night star gazing and early morning sunrises here are hard to beat.

Great View.

GPS is hit and miss around Savernake Forest so you can miss the paths you wanted.

Crofton Pumping Station advertises that it has the oldest working steam engine in the world. The idea was actually to route the canal through a mountain at a lower altitude using a tunnel. But this project was too expensive and too complex. That's why the pumping station was built. It once reliably filled the canal with water at the geographically highest points of the route.

The Ridgeway Trail starting point from Wiltshire to Buckinghamshire. The oldest trail in Britain.

Moderate trail with Amazing views and history.

Run out of the stone circle and up the hill! This chalk gravel path that provides a steady incline out of Avebury and the famous Neolithic stones. The surface is rugged and challenging, so watch your step and keep your eye on the path. You are afforded an amazing view of the village and stones however, so it's well worth the effort.

Nice fast gravel, especially for a Northerner

The tour passes through Avebury Stone Circle, supposedly the poor relation to Stone Henge but in my mind far far better. Hug a stone for free!!

Check out those Middle Aged Folks cuddling those stones! Fun Times people watching!

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.

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.

There is a WWII pill box next to the parking lot. It's part of the defense line along the canal. https://pennypost.org.uk/2020/02/the-role-of-pillboxes-along-the-kennet-avon-canal-during-ww2/

Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the village of Avebury. One of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, it contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/avebury

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).
