Avebury Stone Circle

The largest stone circle in Britain, so big that part of the village of Avebury sits inside it. A great bank and ditch surround an outer ring of standing stones about 4,500 years old, with two smaller circles within. Unlike Stonehenge you can walk right up to the stones and touch them.

Allow time for the Alexander Keiller Museum, the manor house and the nearby West Kennet Avenue of paired stones. Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow are a short walk away across the fields.
