Avebury

Travel Guide

Today was our first #lksawaydays of 2020 #ukoutandabout We left Reading and headed out to the Wiltshire village of Avebury to have a walk around the Neolithic henge, visit the museum and have some lunch in the Red Lion. Its been over 20 years since the LKs last visited so were looking forward to re-visiting. There are no charges to walk amongst the stones which make up the largest megalithic stone circle in the world, but there are separate charges for the museum and the Avebury Manor. The main car park is £4 for the day but not very big considering the volume of visitors Avebury sees, so if you visit we would suggest outside peak months. The purpose of the the stone circle is unknown but its believed to be a ritual complex, the site is a sacred site to the contemporary Pagans and if you are lucky on your visit you may see Druidic rites taking place. Its a pleasant half day and if the weather is a little moody it can add to the visit too! #avebury #aveburystones #stones #stonecircle
Really happy with light and the little white cloud in this shot of a few of the avenue stones at Avebury. As I left there was a small rainbow over the stone at the centre but I couldn't stop to get a photo so I'm afraid the image was just for me!
The Red Lion, Avebury
This chapel was so quaint and lovely. I really appreciate the chapels of the United Kingdom. Their age is so heavy in the structure and it’s nice compared to the newer snazzy chapels of America.

Room ok, some dirty marks in the bathroom. A little cool in the room and couldn’t see how to change the temperature. On the plus side, room was very spacious and great coffee machine.

I was pleasantly surprised when i arrived at this hotel. Iit overlooked the river Avon, and we could see a little waterfall from our window. The mill wheels was working just outside the dining room window. It would be lovely in the summer. The only downside was the choice for breakfast. However you ...

Nice for a walk and to see the sights with Silbury Hill just across the road and within walking distance to Avebury. The entrance is nice but you don’t get to see the full length - is only 3 galleries
