This Tour Includes
Expect to be transported back thousands of years as you explore the awe-inspiring Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments that make up this fascinating tour. Avebury Stone Circle, with its massive standing stones enclosing part of the village, sets the tone for an immersive journey into Britain’s ancient past. You’ll walk among these enormous stones, pondering their original purpose and significance, before heading to the hauntingly atmospheric West Kennet Long Barrow. This chambered tomb, older than Stonehenge, invites you to step inside and experience the same space once used for sacred rituals and burials. Standing atop the ridge, you’ll take in sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, which only add to the site’s mystical allure.
From there, the tour continues to the striking white figure of the Cherhill Horse, etched into the hillside since the 18th century, before making its way to Silbury Hill—Europe’s largest prehistoric man-made mound. The purpose of this towering chalk structure remains a mystery, fuelling speculation and intrigue. The tour also includes a stop in the charming market town of Marlborough, where you’ll have time to wander through its historic streets and browse unique local shops. Your guide will be with you throughout, offering historical insights and recommendations for lunch and self-guided explorations. Whether you’re drawn to ancient history, scenic landscapes, or simply the wonder of Britain’s past, this tour promises an unforgettable experience.
Avebury Stone Circle
Along with West Kennet Long Barrow this extraordinary site forms a ‘sacred landscape’, whose use and purpose will lead you on a mysterious journey. Avebury Stone Circle and its surroundings have, with Stonehenge, achieved international recognition as a World Heritage Site. Built over many centuries from about 2850 BC to 2200 BC, it has a huge circular bank, including part of Avebury village.
West Kennet Long Barrow
One of the largest, most impressive Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain. Built in around 3650 BC, some 400 years before Stonehenge, it was used for a short time as a burial chamber, nearly 50 people being buried here before the chambers were blocked. Situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, our tour guide can escort you as you discover this archaeological wonder.
Cherhill Horse
The figure at Cherhill was first cut in 1780 and is the third oldest of such white horses in Britain. The horse has been ‘scoured’ several times, most recently in 2002 when it was resurfaced with one hundred and sixty tonnes of new chalk. It remains to this day a very popular tourist attraction, facing north-east on a steep slope of Cherhill Down.
Silbury Hill
Silbury Hill is a prehistoric artificial chalk mound near Avebury and part of the World Heritage Site. It compares in height and volume to some of the Egyptian pyramids and is thought to have been built over 100 years from 2470 BC. It is another link to what is a very mysterious tour for those interested in the ancient monuments of Britain.
Marlborough Town
An old English picturesque market town, Marlborough retains much of its great natural beauty and offers the discerning visitor a blend of modern attractions and facilities. This is your opportunity to browse through some unique shops and experience the town’s charm and character.
