We headed to Avebury just after visiting Stonehenge, and the experience felt completely different. The vastness of the land and the openness of access to the stones created a timeless atmosphere. Walking among them, touching their surfaces, and feeling the energy of the place was strangely intimate. I was immersed in the scale of the village, where ancient stones were framed by fields, sheep, and cottages. There were even people performing spiritual rituals (meditating, chanting etc.) around the stones. Avebury truly felt like a living landscape!
Avebury Henge is a Neolithic monument in and around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, and is one of the most famous megalithic monuments in England (and the world). The complex was constructed over several hundred years in the third millennium BC and consisted of an earthen mound, a ditch, and three stone circles. Unfortunately, many of the stones were reused when the village expanded into the stone circles during the Middle Ages. As a result, only a small portion of the stone circles can still be visited, but the site has nevertheless retained a great appeal. Although its original function remains uncertain, Avebury was likely a site for ritual ceremonies. Part of Avebury's appeal lies in this mysterious aspect. In any case, Avebury is definitely worth a visit.
Sam was an excellent guide. He's very knowledgeable with lots of information to share. Our driver, Mahut (forgive my spelling) was excellent and went beyond in dropping us off at the end. we had a great journey.
Richard our guide was humorous engaging and informative. Avebury was a huge hit, blew Stonehenge away. Tour was fun start to finish!! Do it don’t miss out!!
Lovely historic location with a huge standing stone circle around the village. Very peaceful place to visit out of main tourist season. The whole area around here is peppered with artefacts and locations dating back thousands of years so lots to explore. Note there is a NT parking area just through the village which is free for NT visitors.
Avebury is a truly magical place. I've been many times. Parking is quite limited and I've been lucky enough not to go on very busy days. Though I visited Tues 16th sept at around lunchtime and there were only a few spaces, though people are always coming and going . If you just want to walk around the stones you can be in and out in half an hour but there is much more to see. If you walk clockwise around the stones from the second entry point your final destination will be the pub. Haven't been there in a while but I've always enjoyed it before. There are a couple of shops, national trust , which is lovely but not many henge bits to buy, and The Henge, also a nice shop but seems more touristy these days but still has plenty of crystals and books related to the stones and similar. There are toilets and a cafe. Also a couple of little museums. There are steps and uneven ground at times. Can be muddy so be aware. Whilst the stones circle is free to visit the car park is expensive- £8. There is no choice of how long you stay, just a flat out fee which i think is disappointing. It's free to National Trust and English Heritage members. I've always thought it better than Stonehenge as you can get up and personal to most of the stones and the trees that have exposed roots are a wonder to behold. However, the attractions can be expensive for non members and the high parking cost could put people off. There are other places, such as west kennet long barrow and Silbury hill to visit so you can make a neolithic day of it.
Our guide Richard was amazing. He had a wealth of knowledge for history, myth, and storytelling and took great care of us. We had the perfect amount of time at each site. I especially loved Avebury. The scenery and drive were also exquisite.
Great experience! We had such a good time. Our guide was Carol, a lovely person, very kind and professional. The driver was perfect. I’ll recommend this trip to everyone.
We had Richard as our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! We had quite a small group which really enhanced our experience and our ability to talk to the tour guide. The tour was beautiful and really interesting ✨️
Some of the most incredible prehistoric sites all within walking distance. The circles and West Kennett long barrow are awesome inspiring, older than Stonehenge and free to visit (apart from parking at Avebury which is fair enough). 100% worth visiting.
