Mysterious Avebury - The Ancient Avebury Stone Circles, Visit Wiltshire
Avebury in Wiltshire is a Neolithic henge and is the largest stone circle in Europe and is a UNESCO world heritage site. The Avebury stone circle and its banks and ditches were erected around 4,300 years ago.
The stones circles are free to access and car parking during January was £4. We took a guided tour which is well worth it and is only £3 per person.
After #Avebury we headed to our overnight accommodation at the Bath Arms at Longleat which is about 30 miles from Avebury. On the way we stumbled across the Westbury White Horse a giant hill figure on the escarpment of Salisbury Plain. #VisitEngland #VisitWiltshire

Stonehenge and Avebury Stone Circles, England
Visiting Stonehenge and Avebury, England. One of the world's most magical and mysterious places, Stonehenge, in the southwest of England, is nearly 5000 years old.
And there are still many questions about what it was used for. Although it's believed that for 1500 years people were worshiping their gods here and most likely using it as an astronomical calendar that marked the arrival of the summer and winter seasons.
Stonehenge was created so long ago that the culture that built it left no written record.
So there are many mysteries, which of course is part of the magnetic charm of this monumental site. What was it for? Who built it? And, when was it in use?
Another reason the site is so interesting is just the physical beauty of the stones and their elegant arrangement in concentric circles of standing stones, some of them connected at the top by horizontal lintels, and the massive size of these rocks that were carried here from far away.
This tour was organized for us by
a company operating out of the city of Bath. And the itinerary also includes a visit to Avebury, which has the largest prehistoric stone circle in the world.
The stones at Avebury are not as big as those at Stonehenge. And also they are not carved into shape. These are natural rocks that were just hacked out of a quarry and dragged here. The total impression is one of the vast size and great beauty.
The circle is about 1200 feet in diameter, and while many of the original stones have been plundered and looted, they're gone. From the late medieval and early modern periods, centuries ago, people destroyed many of the standing stones and reused them for construction purposes. We still have enough left to show the original significance of the amazing site.
Avebury, England: Megalithic Playground
While England is sprinkled with stone circles, the megalithic playground at Avebury gives travelers a truly hands-on experience. Avebury is 16 times larger than its better known counterpart, Stonehenge, and welcomes kids, sheep, and anyone else who is interested a chance to interact with this engineering marvel.

Avebury Stone Circle - A Walk Around Avebury Henge
Solveig Egebjerg & Ian David Chapman take you on a walk around Avebury Stone circle in the United Kingdom.
Avebury is a very special place to visit. We go there every time we visit the Uk since it’s only a 1 hour drive from Ian’s parents. Avebury is located in Wiltshire just west from the town of Marlborough and south of Swindon.
It was built around 2600 BCE, during the Neolithic times. It's made up of a large henge consisting of a bank and a ditch 9 meters deep. with a large outer stone circle and two separate smaller stone circles situated inside the centre.
Many of the stones were removed or destroyed since it was originally constructed but it still contains a very magical and powerful energy.
The video begins in the Avenue, a long processional way linking Avebury with the Sanctuary, lined with stones 15 meters apart.
We then walk through the best preserved quadrant in the south west of the circle before going to the church built at the very centre of Avebury village. We look over the church wall at the southern circle of stones. The southern circle focused on a central point, the great Obelisk, which was the largest stone in the circle at 21 feet (6.4 metres) high.
This was removed sometime after 1725 and its former position is now represented by a concrete post. It was surrounded by 29 smaller stones
Next we go to the northern part of the circle where we find the remains of the Cove. This once consisted of three rectangular shaped sarsen stones, arranged around three sides of a square with the opening to the north.
Today the circle complex is grazed by sheep but once it was used as a ceremonial and ritual centre.
Crossing the road to the east we encounter the high bank surrounding the circle. The trees have extended their roots like rippling waves over the grass. Today people tie ribbons and cloth to the branches to make a wish or send a prayer.
Around the high bank we return to the southern entrance to the circle. The bank is now some 14–18 feet (4.2–5.4 metres) high but was once nearly 55 feet (17 metres) above what was originally a 30-foot (9-metre) deep ditch.
These two giant portal stones guard the entrance to the circle, the largest is called the devils chair. We think the christians have this all backward which is why if you look closely at the video things are played in reverse.
According to Paul Broadhurst (Author) and Hamish Miller (Author) these two stones mark where the Michael and Mary ley lines enter the circle and is one of the most sacred and powerful places in the whole complex.
If you want to know more about the energetic layout of Avebury in relation to the Michael and Mary Leylines check out the book the Sun and the Serpent

England: Stonehenge and Avebury (two very different neolithic sites)
See more details on the blog:
Ilfracombe is wonderful but we've decided to take a little road trip to see a couple of primary tourist sites: Bath and Stonehenge. The first day we visited Stonehenge and Avebury, two very different neolithic sites. While stonehenge has a finished look where the stone age builders created something almost recognizable there is a comprehensive visitor and tourist center and facilities. You also are kept a certain distance from the stones and it costs a pretty penny.
Avebury on the other hand is free to walk around and touch. It is far larger (the stone rings at least) and less defined. It's also cuts through a town and road runs through it. Both are very impressive but we'd recommend doing a little studying before visiting to get the most from your visit. Where did the stones for stonehenge and avebury come from? You'll have to see it to find out!

Evening Flight around Stonehenge, Silbury Hill & Avebury Stone Circle, (within CAA rules)
All done within CAA rules.... A late evening, 360 degree flight around the iconic Stonehenge, with some additional amazing shots of the enormous Avebury Stone Circle, West Kennet Avenue and Silbury Hill, the largest manmade mound in the world, estimated to have taken 500 men a full 15 years to construct, providing a direct line of sight to Stonehenge and Avebury.
The CAA confirm that landowners cannot impose their own airspace regulations any more than you can impose a speed limit outside your own house. The CAA regulates airspace, no one else. This means the landowner can prohibit you taking off, operating and landing but cannot prohibit you flying over, anymore they could a paraglider or hit air balloon.
That said, respecting English Heritage's wish, I waited until around closing time to ensure visitors weren't bothered in any way. Remember to always fly with the greatest consideration for others who won't be enjoying the amazing views you get!
If you have a comment, be constructive and accurate.
Cheers,
Ian

Avebury Stone Circle Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Avebury Stone Circle in England.
In England, close to the village of Silbury Hill in the county of Wiltshire, a 5,000 year old monument rises from the ground. It is a hill that is almost 40m high and is Europe's largest artificial prehistoric earthwork, built around 2, 800 B.C. The grass covered limestone hill was created for ritual ceremonies and its rocks originated from a huge stone circle that dates back to a Megalithic culture that encompassed the village of Avebury in which ancient rituals were performed right up to the time of Christianity. The White Horses Of Wiltshire are located on several sites in the English county. They are large, white contours of horses that can be seen from far away in the undulating countryside. The 100m long horses consist of limestone and their origin dates back to the 11th century or perhaps even earlier as they are very similar to images found in Stone Age drawings. Scientists believe that the builders of Stonehenge, which is only some 25 km distant, were the same that also constructed Avebury, the so-called ‘Beaker People’.

The Secrets of Silbury Hill: NEW HYPOTHESIS | Ancient Architects
#SilburyHill is the largest artificial mound in Europe. It is thought to have been built over a short period of time between 2,470 and 2,350 BC and is one of the most intriguing monuments in the prehistoric landscape of the #Avebury World Heritage Site in England.
To this day, nobody can say with any certainty what its purpose and significance was and why it was built in a valley. In this video, I attempt to unravel the mystery of Silbury Hill and explain why I think the origins of the mound may not be as you expect.
