Brief description
"At Avebury you are free to wander among the stones and bear witness to the enormous task of building the henge bank and ditch by hand using the simplest of tools. You can also stroll down West Kennet Avenue which is thought to have linked Avebury stone circles to the Sanctuary on Overton Down.
Recognised as a World Heritage Site for its outstanding Neolithic and Bronze Age landscape, Avebury is a place where you can connect with history and take time to imagine what life might have been like thousands of years ago. The stone circles and henge monument are particularly unusual, not just because it is the largest stone circle in the world but also for the fact that it is the only stone circle with a village built partially within it."
