Avebury
Voted Britain's third most spiritual site, Avebury is one of Europe's largest prehistoric stone circles and a World Heritage site. You can walk right up to the stones and touch them! Many of the stones were re-erected in the 1930’s by the archaeologist Alexander Keller who uncovered the true wonder of one of the most important megalithic monuments in Europe.
Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago these 40-ton rocks were dragged to the lonely windy plain of Salisbury Hill, and their secrets continue to tantalise and intrigue scholars and visitors to this day. Some say that Stonehenge was a religious temple, others that it was an astronomical clock, or a Bronze Age burial ground.
