Avebury is the site of a large henge and several stone circles in the English county of Wiltshire surrounding the village of Avebury. It is one of the largest Neolithic monuments in Europe dating to around 2850 BC. It is even older than the megalithic stages of Stonehenge. This site lies approximately midway between the towns of Marlborough and Calne, just off the main A4 on the northbound A4361 towards Wroughton. Do also take the time to explore the Alexander Keiller Museum located within the site.
Silbury Hill is the largest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe. It was built over 4,000 years ago in the Neolithic period. Today part of the Avebury World Heritage Site, the monument’s purpose and significance for prehistoric people remains unknown. You can't miss this huge mound as you drive to Avebury ...very impresive!
...These rocks ROCK!
