Walking in Wiltshire: Avebury Stone Circle

Avebury Stone Circle lies in the Kennet Valley, Wiltshire, at the south-west end of the Ridgeway, one of England's National Walking Trails.

Avebury is at the centre of one of the greatest surviving concentrations of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in Western Europe. It is truly a very special and, for many, a mystical and sacred place.
