Avebury Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Today was our first #lksawaydays of 2020 #ukoutandabout We left Reading and headed out to the Wiltshire village of Avebury to have a walk around the Neolithic henge, visit the museum and have some lunch in the Red Lion. Its been over 20 years since the LKs last visited so were looking forward to re-visiting. There are no charges to walk amongst the stones which make up the largest megalithic stone circle in the world, but there are separate charges for the museum and the Avebury Manor. The main car park is £4 for the day but not very big considering the volume of visitors Avebury sees, so if you visit we would suggest outside peak months. The purpose of the the stone circle is unknown but its believed to be a ritual complex, the site is a sacred site to the contemporary Pagans and if you are lucky on your visit you may see Druidic rites taking place. Its a pleasant half day and if the weather is a little moody it can add to the visit too! #avebury #aveburystones #stones #stonecircle

Really happy with light and the little white cloud in this shot of a few of the avenue stones at Avebury. As I left there was a small rainbow over the stone at the centre but I couldn't stop to get a photo so I'm afraid the image was just for me!
The Red Lion, Avebury
This chapel was so quaint and lovely. I really appreciate the chapels of the United Kingdom. Their age is so heavy in the structure and it’s nice compared to the newer snazzy chapels of America.

Very nice, cosy place in a good location, about a 12-minute journey from Bath city centre and close to the bus station. We stayed for one night only and had a beautiful, very spacious room. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the breakfast was very poor.
