Surrounded by the rolling landscape of the North Wessex Downs the little village of Avebury stands right in the center of a truly remarkable Neolithic cult site dating from the end of the third millennium B.C. There is much to see in the village.
All the Avebury attractions lie within a radius of 1.25-2mi/2
-3km of Avebury and are well signposted; some however can only be reached on foot.
The Avebury Stone Circles which surround the village were constructed 4,500 years ago and originally comprised about 180 stones. Only 27 of the Outer Circle stones are still standing. There is also an avenue of stones.
