The Neolithic henge monument situated around the village of Avebury contains three stone circles, dating to around 2600 BC.

In contrast to Stonehenge, it is possible to go close and actually touch the stones. The fields can be muddy, so good footwear comes in handy if you want to go right up to the stones.

Avebury Stone Circle

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.
