Mysterious stone circle. Can spend hours here absorbing the atmosphere. Try the pub (only one in UK within a stone circle).

Unlike Stonehenge one can get right next to the stones of multiple stone circles. Great way to spend the afternoon when near Swindelon or Chiseldon.

'The great stone circle of Avebury in England was used as a dimensional doorway for various star systems, particularly Sirius, the Pleiades, and Arcturus.'

A circle of ancient stones from the bronze age that was used as a calender system and burial grounds nearby. Don't mix up with Stonehenge

Better than Stonehenge. Beautiful fields with ancient stones arranged in a giant circle. Great hiking. Not too crowded.

These stunning stones built on the ridgeway are worth visiting on the way to Stonehenge..
