Type: Historic Site
At the centre of a pre-historic complex in the Marlborough Downs stands Avebury, the largest stone circle in the world. This circle features one of the most impressive henges in Britain as well as remains of a stone avenue.
Originally erected about 4,500 years ago, many of the stones were re-erected in the 1930s by Alexander Keiller. The circles and henge enclose part of the village. The Avebury landscape is a World Heritage Site.
