Avebury
Lying within a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Kennet Valley, the great stone circle of Avebury is one of the most important megalithic monuments in Europe, and the largest stone circle of its kind in the world.
Located 20 miles north of Stonehenge and built between about 2,850 to 2,200 BC, the stones - some 100 in all - form a huge ring a quarter of a mile across with the picturesque village of Avebury at its heart.
Surrounded by a sense of awe and mystery, Avebury is the focus of an amazing cluster of ancient monuments. Follow an 'avenue' partially marked by stones that originally led to The Sanctuary. Visit West Kennet Long Barrow, one of Britain's largest Stone Age burial sites, or look across the fields towards the giant man-made mound of Silbury Hill.
