The story of Avebury is best revealed in a walk of the surrounding landscape where its various monuments will bring alive the history of why this area was developed by Neolithic peoples.
Visit Windmill Hill, probably the oldest of the monuments, take in Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow and the Sanctuary. Follow the route of England’s oldest road, the Ridgeway, along the hilltops surrounding Avebury to the valley below Fyfield Down where Sarsen stones can be viewed in their natural setting prior to returning to Avebury along the Herepath an old Saxon roadway.
This is an all day walk on Public Footpaths and Byways (OS 157), best taken in the company of a Blue Badge Guide, but is easily split up into bite size chunks to suit your personal needs.
