Resting within the beautiful confines of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the county of Wiltshire lies the historic village of Avebury. Lying west of Marlborough and northeast of Devizes, this bustling settlement houses the iconic landmarks and sites of the Avebury Henge and Stone Circles and the National Trust spot of Avebury Manor. In the village, visitors can re-stock on homely essentials at the Avebury Community Shop, sit down for a meal at the Circles Restaurant or the Red Lion pub, and stop by famous landmarks and locations such as Fishlock’s Cottage and the Alexander Keiller Museum. A brief drive from Avebury will bring you to several noteworthy locations and settings, including The Devil’s Den, the famous Cherhill White Horse, and the magnificent site of Silbury Hill. For a full day out, the city of Swindon lies just a short car trip away to the northeast, inviting tourists to spend time ambling through the scenic greens of Lydiard Park, soak up some local history at the Richard Jefferies Museum, or even enjoy a day out shopping at the Designer Outlet Swindon.
