Avebury, Stonehenge and back to Gatwick airport
Save

I am planning to visit Glastonbury for a few days and on my return, to stop over one night in Avebury, then visit Stonehenge (or this visit can be done before getting to Avebury) and then catch my flight at Gatwick airport. What would be the cheapest option to travel from Glastonbury to Avebury/Stonehenge? How can I then get back to Gatwick airport? Thanks.

You need a car for your itinerary as the nearest train station is Bridgewater, rural Somerset having only local public transport.

"there used to be a summer service linking Avebury and Stonehenge, but it may have been withdrawn."

This is correct. The Henge Hopper service in no longer available.

I think that Diz - #3 - offers the most convenient solution - Stonehenge en route to Glastonbury; on to Swindon ; 49 bus to Avebury; 49 bus back to Swindon; train to Gatwick, changing at Reading.

Unless the onward flight is early in the day, there should be no need to overnight at Avebury - in any case, overnighting at Swindon would be worth considering as there is a selection of hotels close to the Bus and Railway stations.
