Overview

SPECIAL TRIP - Avebury, Wilts. A Stone Age Perambulation. Lots of fascinating history to see including West Kennet Barrow, The Sanctuary, Avebury Henge, Avebury Manor, a Moated Farmhouse, Windmill Hill and various ancient standing stones and sarsen stones. Total ascent 600ft. NOTE TIMES. The journey there is just over 50 miles, and 1 hour, via the M4 and A4 so it is suggested that car-share passengers make a contribution to fuel costs which will be about #10 per car depending on car type and fuel prices.
