I love Avebury. A fascinating stone circle (the largest stone circle in Europe) and a lovely little village! Unfortunately, the National Trust has had to rope off sections of the circle (particularly during school holidays) due to erosion from so many people walking around, but it's still very stunning to see. They have a pub in the middle of the village which offers food and drinks. There's also a small corner shop (very friendly owners) and a few other shops (one being esoteric, another being an independent jeweller). The church and its grounds are very well maintained, and there's a museum that details the history of Avebury. It can get very muddy during rainy periods, and proper walking/hiking boots definitely help you keep traction with the ground! It is a wonderful place to go to during pagan holidays. There's always really friendly people around, and the summer solstice and Samhain (Halloween) celebrations are always great fun! I've visited this site dozens of times, and I dare say I will continue to do so for as long as I'm able to! There are several car parks dotted around, including one near the centre of the village. The only negative to the village at the moment is that the public toilets are STILL not open. They've been closed for a very long time now.
