AVEBURY Henge
Twenty miles north of Stonehenge stands Avebury, the largest known stone ring in the world! Older than the more famous Stonehenge, and for many visitors far more spectacular. But you can decide that for yourself on this trip :-)
The multiple rings of Avebury are cloaked with mysteries that archaeologists have only begun to unravel.
Similar to Stonehenge and many other megalithic monuments in the British Isles, Avebury is a construction that was added to and altered during several periods. As the site currently exists, the great circle consists of a grass-covered, chalk-stone bank that is 1,396 feet in diameter (427 meters) and 20 feet high (6 meters).
