Avebury

TAILOR-MADE TO SUIT YOU

Avebury

Avebury is a very special place, a World Heritage Site and it's almost on our doorstep, just 8 miles away. It is on The White Horse Trail and we have a 12 mile Avebury loop walk for those guests wanting to walk every bit of the Trail.

There are circular walks of various lengths around Avebury, but all have in common a visit to the stone circle where you can wander freely and, unlike Stonehenge, get up close to the stones. You can visit at any time, no charge - but be careful, the National Trust car park closes at 4.30pm in winter, 6.30pm in summer. The very interesting Alexander Keiller Museum is open every day and Avebury Manor and Garden is open several days a week during the main season.

For something a bit special, how about a personalised guided tour of Avebury and its environs? Whether you're interested in the origins of the stone circle, long barrows or hill forts, crop circles or the mystery of Silbury Hill, I can put you in touch with experts who can give you a far deeper insight into this historic landscape than you will get from an average guidebook. Ask for more details.

The Ridgeway National Trail

Avebury is very close to the start/finish point of The Ridgeway National Trail. We walked The Ridgeway in 2005.
