AVEBURY<br />
SITE MAP<br />
Lion (shown top left). Avebury is a lovely<br />
place to visit and thankfully there isn't the<br />
mania, queuing and hassle that you get<br />
when you visit Stonehenge. You are also<br />
able to bring your dog/s along to Avebury<br />
for maximum enjoyment!<br />

There are several museums on site to visit<br />
and indeed, much to occupy your day, with<br />
lunch available available on site, so no need<br />
to get in the car.<br />
From Exeter, Avebury is just over 100 miles<br />
(A303/A30 route), so you can either day<br />
visit, or possibly stay. Six miles down the<br />
road is Marlborough, a classy little town<br />
with a great mix of coffee shops, bistros<br />
and shopping, making an ideal place to stop<br />
over. Nigel Jones<br />
