Stonehenge and the prehistoric Wessex day trip

Stonehenge, Avebury, Silbury Hill, West Kennet — all in one day.

Wessex is the densest concentration of prehistoric monuments in Europe. A single day from London or Bath covers Stonehenge in the morning, then west to Avebury (the largest stone circle in the world), Silbury Hill (the tallest prehistoric mound in Europe), and West Kennet Long Barrow (a 5,000-year-old chambered tomb). Free entry to everything except Stonehenge itself.
