Avebury Stone Circles
Type: Historic Site
At the centre of a pre-historic complex in the Marlborough Downs stands Avebury, the largest stone circle in Europe. This circle features one of the most impressive henges in Britain as well as remains of a stone avenue.
Originally erected about 4,500 years ago, many of the stones were re-erected in the 1930s by Alexander Keiller. The circles and henge enclose part of the village. The Avebury landscape is now a World Heritage Site.
