World-famous stone circle at the heart of a
prehistoric landscape
One of the most important megalithic monuments in Europe is spread
over a vast area at Avebury, much of it under Trust protection. The
great stone circle, encompassing part of the village of Avebury, is
enclosed by a ditch and external bank and approached by an avenue
of stones. Nearby, Windmill Hill was once the site of an
important Neolithic settlement and has several well-preserved
Bronze Age burial mounds. West of Avebury, the Iron Age earthwork
of Oldbury Castle crowns Cherhill Down, along with the conspicuous
Lansdowne Monument. With the spectacular folds of Calstone Coombes,
this area of open downland provides wonderful walking
opportunities.
