Avebury, Wiltshire
Thought Stonehenge was the UK’s only significant stone circle? It might be the most famous, but it is far from alone. Our ancient landscape is dotted with incredible neolithic momuments, and Avebury is home to, well, more than it’s fair share really. Not only is the village of Avebury literally inside a huge stone circle (the largest in Britain) the surrounding area also features an avenue of standing stones, neolithic burial sites and the UK’s answer to the pyramids: Silbury Hill, which is the largest artificial mound in Europe. It’s clear why the sacred landscape, a Unesco world heritage site, is a popular destination to mark the longest day.
