Avebury is amazing. You can spend an entire day there just pondering over the stones.

Windmill Hill is a classic example of a Neolithic 'causewayed enclosure', with three concentric but intermittent ditches. Large quantities of animal bones found here indicate feasting, animal trading or rituals, or perhaps all three. It is part of the Avebury World Heritage Site, there is not much left to see, few tumps and ditches, it is a bit of a walk through really heavy mud and clay if we have had rain so need boots, (we don't recommend Wellies as they will just get stuck in the mud when pulling) , we parked by the clay pigeon club, which is turn right out of the avebury national trust car park, take 3rd exit on roundabout, then take 2nd right, really rough road, lots of pot holes, you have been WARNED, from here it was only 1hr up and back. Worth the walk.

Avebury is fabulous - but if you visit, make sure you take time to go to at least some of the other places in the Avebury landscape...

A beautiful place

A nice circular walk from Avebury, nice and quiet compared to the village and some good views from the top along with lots of ancient history including several burial mounds/barrows. Some of the signage is very tired and in need of replacing. Definitely worth it if you like walking in the countryside. Be aware that several fields had cattle in them so might not be ideal for those with dogs.

We parked our car at the Avebury National Trust car park, walked through the village past the church, followed the directions on the national trust website and trekked up to Windmill Hill. Download the walk on your phone beforehand as the reception isn't great. There are several stiles to negotiate some of which aren't easy. There are a few fields to walk through so make sure you have good walking shoes....there are plenty of cow pats to avoid! The view from the top of the hill is great even on a dull morning and not another soul in sight. Certainly worth it if you'd like to experience a different point of view.

We got a bit confused by the signposted directions from Avebury village though once we realised we needed to follow the county path for a while before being directed back to Windmill Hill all was fine. Quite a hike for those who are less fit and certainly not easy terrain at all for those who are less-able and the styles can be pretty high with one topped by barbed-wire! Well worth the trek though, even on a grey day. ?

A quiet place with open views across the Avebury area from the top of the hill. There are mounds and shallow ditches that make up the landscape. Don't try and drive along the single track like I did. Quickly only passable for trackters. Worth a visit if you have spare time.

A great area to walk. Splendid views from the top.
