Find out the best ways to travel to Avebury by train, bus, bike or on foot, helping you to save money and care for the environment.
Avebury is well served by two Stagecoach bus routes, with regular services to and from Swindon, Marlborough, Devizes, Calne and Trowbridge.
Stagecoach Bus 49 (between Swindon, Devizes and Trowbridge) passes through Avebury hourly from Monday to Friday, with a reduced service on Saturdays and Sundays.
Passengers can also travel from Calne and Marlborough on Stagecoach Bus 42, which runs a regular service from Monday to Friday and a reduced service on Saturdays.
All bus services to Avebury pick up and drop off outside The Red Lion pub.
If you are planning to start your journey to Avebury by train, here are details of how to continue your journey from Swindon and Pewsey.
Passengers from London, Bristol or Bath Spa can travel directly to Swindon train station, located 12 miles from Avebury.
From there, Stagecoach Bus 49 departs every hour to Avebury from Swindon bus station.
Pewsey station (11 miles from Avebury) is served by regular trains from London, Frome and the South West.
From Pewsey, you can travel on the X5 Salisbury Reds bus to Marlborough and then Stagecoach Bus 42 to Avebury.
Avebury is connected to two routes (45 and 403) on the National Cycle Network.
Route 45 runs from Salisbury in the south through Pewsey and onto Avebury. From the north, the route connects with Swindon and Chiseldon before heading through Barbury Castle Country Park and on to Avebury.
Route 403 runs through Marlborough and then across the Fyfield Down Nature Reserve and on to Avebury.
If you are heading from west to east, the route goes through Calne and on to the village of Yatesbury before you arrive at Avebury.
Avebury is also connected to the King Alfred’s Way cycling route, which is a 350km off-road adventure through Wessex and its historic sites.
Part 4 of the route starts at Chirton in the Vale of Pewsey and runs for 15km before finishing at Avebury.
If you would like to walk to Avebury, the site is 6.5 miles from Marlborough and 6 miles from Calne.
The route from both locations takes you away from the main A4 road and through areas of rolling countryside.
Avebury can also be accessed from the 5,000-year-old Ridgeway National Trail, one of England’s most ancient routes.
Section 1 of the trail (Overton Hill to Ogbourne St George) connects to Green Street, which leads directly to the entrance of the henge and stone circles.
