I visited the stone circles as part of a tour from Bath. It was good to walk around the area and the stones. There is no fee to enter. It was interesting to see such a large area with historical significance.

This is really a large stone circle. There's even a couple of roads crossing the circle. The setting is still beautiful and the staff manning the parking lot (£7 a day) were absolutely helpfull and attentive. You get a map of the circle, but the...More

The Avebury Stone Circle is of similar importance if not fame as Stonehenge, with the added bonus of being quieter. Avebury's stones are all free-standing (no plinths like at Stonehenge) and run in 3 circles through the picturesque village. There are clearly marked paths to...More

The whole area is steeped in so much mystery it's truly captivating! I recommend you stay in a local B&B, that way you can wander the stone circles at your leisure, especially awesome for photos in the evening or early morning - not so many...More

Avebury stone circle is a real treat. The stones circle the village and they are not fenced off. The gift shop is incredible and the people of Avebury are friendly and accommodating. I cannot fault this place at all.

This place is lovely. It is quieter than Stonehenge and there is far more to see. It is also older. Avebury is a nice village with a pub, village shop and also a Henge shop, selling pagan stuff. It also has a vegetarian bed and...More

What is bigger than Stonehenge, has fewer visitors but is equally important historically? Yep you got it, Avebury Henge monument. Its not a good destination if its wet but if its dry you can spend all day exploring the stones and the nearby Avenue, museum...More

Like most people, we visited Stonehenge, then Woodhenge and then Avebury. It's different but similar. It's a larger circle and is in a different setting. We also visited the West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill prior to Avebury and the whole lot make for...More
