Plan to spend a full day to see the whole site. This was a repeat visit because we had not allowed enough time to see it all before and it was 'calling us back'. This is a giant complex of neolithic circles and an avenue leading to a sanctuary. Part of the little town was built inside the circle so some of it has been destroyed but it's well worth wandering. Also nearby are some barrows, mounds and other such sites.

Beautiful location, so much to see! So many beautiful beautiful routes for walks, steeped in history. Also you can see many burial Chambers from the neolithic period. Peaceful, amazing little village, awesome pub and little shops to visit.

Loved our visit. We arrived at about 3.30 pm and parked. If you are a National Trust member, parking is free. It is a small carpark, but we had plenty of space at this time. You also walk for about 25 mins from car park to the barn for museum tickets. We saw the museum and the barn and walked the Stone circle. I thought it was magic at that time of say with the sun going down. I could easily come back and just wander all day. You can wander at any time as long as you stick to the paths. This had been on my bucket list, and I wasn't disappointed. Your imagination could run wild as you are about to roam and touch the stones and greet sheep.

Wonderful place to visit. Breathtaking and very atmospheric. Ample parking, but a bit pricey if you are not a National Trust member. Very clean and well maintained and nice pub nearby. Would recommend a visit 👍🏻

I knew how busy this would be so I went for 8am on a very sunny day. There were only 3 cars on the car park, it isn't very big. Don't park in the village or in a layby as you are likely to get a ticket. The NT or the shops don't open until 10 so you can't get a coffee but the pub the Red Lion opens at 9.30 for a very good breakfast. I had a good walk and had breakfast. By then the NT was open so I saw the museum and Manor garden, the manor house is shut at the moment. I was there 4 hours by the time I had seen the church and the shops. It is £7 to park but if you go in the pub and eat and there is space you can register your car free, there are cameras so make sure you do so. Again the car park is small. Lovely time, the stones they were much bigger than I imagined. Apart from it being very muddy in places with huge puddles, a good day out

Made it here on a very windy day… the stones were fascinating to walk around. You can visit in less than three hours! Pubs and cafes nearby as well as toilet facilities- and gift shops. Very dog and family friendly.

Avebury was such a nice surprise. I didn't know what to expect, but it was a very pleasant walk. I didn't visit the Visitor Centre before I went to the stones, and this was probably a mistake as I didn't have a lot of knowledge about it myself. But their are various podcasts about it, so I just listened to them as I walked around and managed to capture the essence of the stones. I walked to The Sanctuary, West Kennet Barrow and Silbury Hill, again listening to podcasts about them on the way, and got really immersed in what was happening 5,000 years ago.

We are members of the National Trust and so were able to park in their car park. Quite a long push from there to the main site with a wheelchair and I didn't realise there was other disabled car parking in the village. The sign posting to the Threshing Barn now the NT check in was a quite poor but worth doing as we got our 'free' tickets to the museum and the gardens and were able to obtain the use of the Tramper mobility scooter which was great for getting me round the stone circles. It would have been extremely difficult with the manual wheelchair. Emma on reception gave me an excellent briefing on the use of the Tramper. We bought a guide book which has an excellent explanation of the stone circles, their history, rediscovery and the excavation of the sites. Access to to the circles is free so you can explore then at your leisure. We took about an hour wandering round the stones on the village side of the larger road that bisects the site. In the National Trust area there is a 9th century Church, the gardens of the Benedictine Priory which extensive and very well maintained and the Medieval Manor House, closed for refurbishment after severe flooding in January 24 and a small museum showing artifacts found during the excavation of the ditches, west avenue and stone circles by Alexander Keiller in 1930s. All the National Trust staff and volunteers were helpful and very knowledgeable. The restaurant had a limited menu but lots of inside and outside seating. My wife had a ham and cheese sandwich which I am afraid to say was the worst and most expensive sandwich she has ever had. The bread the was lovely but the cheese was tasteless and the ham appeared to be reconstituted meat containing large lumps of gristle in it, the overriding taste was of spring onion. The toilets including a good accessible one were behind the Threshing Barn and well marked and clean. To sum up if you are a National Trust member you get free access to all the amenities except food but if you are not you can have a good day out with no charge for visiting the stone circles as long as you can find somewhere to park. Well worth a visit very different from Stonehenge.

Unlike Stonehenge, visiting the Stone Circle is free (except for car parking unless an NT member) The car park is too small for the amount of visitors in my opinion and so you might want to consider arriving early or later in the day. The visitor centre is worth checking out before walking round the stones but the Manor House is currently closed due to severe flooding early in 2024. However, the gardens are still open (chargeable unless NT members). There’s also a cafe and toilet facilities near the visitor centre. The stones were far better than I expected, they’re spread out over quite a wide area and you can “get up close and personal” with them. Overall, the site exceeded my expectations and even though we’re NT members it was nice to experience something that was actually free to all..👍

Visited the stone circle after seeing Stonehenge for a friend day trip. Much preferred avesbury due to it not being so busy and also being able to get close to the stones. Really enjoyed walking through all the sheep and getting a self made milkshake at the end. Highly recommend.
