you can go anytime its out in open 24/7 and free just dont go in museum its bit rubbish for price

Hi. The route from Salisbury across the plain to Devizes is good open and scenic and the roads are suited to two wheels. You could take in Cane Hill Locks at Devizes before heading NE to Avebury. Silbury Hill and West Kennet Longbarrow are also close by to the South of Avebury.

Four hours is plenty and probably includes time for coffee. If you’re visiting by car then split it into two, firstly park in the NT car park and visit the main circle, museum and ideally the manor house (book ahead or as soon as you arrive). Then coffee / snack in the cafe or Red Lion. Then move the car to the Silbury Hill car park, followed by a walk to West Kennet Long Barrow. If you have any time left over then you can visit Devil’s Den (remains if a burial feature) or Fyfield Down (Sarcen stones all over the hillside). Enjoy your visit, it’s fantastic

I agree with the previous contributors re access to the stones themselves but the two museums are well worth visiting.

There aren’t any guided tours at Avebury (to my knowledge) provided by the National Trust however, you can pick up a free map at the car park and/or print the self guided tour from the internet. Have a look around the internet. You’ll find excellent self guided walking tours with history included. We used this along with the free map. I do know of several tour operators offering Avebury tours although, in my opinion, this would spoil the peaceful accessibility of this ancient site. Hope this helps.

Je ne me rappelle pas du tout du prix du parking!!! Mon attention était tout a fait attirée par l'émotion de la visite de ce site ABSOLUMENT EXTRAORDINAIRE... J'ai la vague impression de que c'était cher pour être au milieu de la campagne. Mais, croyais moi, ça vaut la peine!!

We went without any pre planning or a map. But you can get them off the internet. Just the atmosphere is wonderful. We went on one of the guided tours which was excellent. As someone has said the site is really quite small. If you don't ask you won't find out! I just hope you enjoy as much as we did.

The Stagecoach 49 to Devizes runs hourly from the Bus Station a few hundred yards from the Rail Station. It stops outside the Red Lion Pub in Avebury. Why not use Google Maps to plan the journey and perhaps visit Stagecoaches website. TA won't let me include a URL here! BTW it is a very scenic bus route.

Check Anderson Tours for a good guided tour. I got the combo with Avebury and Stonehenge at a cheap price point. The guide was very knowledgeable too!
