Stonehenge, Salisbury SP4 7DE
2 hours
Begin at the world’s most iconic stone circle, a 5,000-year-old marvel aligned with solstices and shrouded in mystery. Built in phases—from earthworks to towering sarsens—this UNESCO World Heritage Site served as a ceremonial hub for Neolithic and Bronze Age communities. Feel the pulse of ley lines here, where earth and sky rituals once united generations[2][8].
Woodhenge, Countess Rd, Durrington SP4 7AR
30 minutes
Discover Stonehenge’s “sister site,” a 4,500-year-old timber circle revealed by aerial photography in 1926. Its six concentric rings of towering posts mirrored Stonehenge’s celestial geometry, with entrances aligned to midsummer sunrise. Though only concrete markers remain, this site whispers of rituals tied to the seasons—and perhaps even sacrifices[3].
Cherhill White Horse & Lansdowne Monument, Off A4, Calne
10 minutes
Gaze upon England’s third-oldest chalk hill figure (1780), a 165-foot steed etched into the downs. Nearby stands the enigmatic Lansdowne Monument, a 125-foot obelisk erected in 1845 to honor Sir William Petty. Together, they anchor a landscape where human artistry meets celestial homage[4].
West Kennet Long Barrow, Avebury SN8 1QH
1 hour 30 minutes
Step into a 5,600-year-old tomb older than the pyramids. This 328-foot burial chamber, built with colossal sarsens and limestone, once held ancestral remains. Its alignment with lunar cycles suggests a gateway between worlds—a place where Neolithic communities honored their dead beneath star-strewn skies[5].
Silbury Hill, A4, Avebury SN8 1QH
15 minutes
Marvel at Europe’s largest prehistoric mound, a 130-foot enigma constructed around 2400 BC. Composed of 500,000 tons of chalk, its purpose remains unknown—though theories range from ritual platform to cosmic symbol. Roman settlers later revered it, building a road around its base[6].
St. James’s Church, Avebury SN8 1RG
15 minutes
Contrast ancient paganism with Saxon spirituality at this 1,000-year-old church. Built deliberately outside Avebury’s stone circle to “counteract pagan energies,” its Norman-era tub font and medieval screen reveal layers of sacred adaptation. A testament to how spiritual landscapes evolve[7].
Avebury Stone Circle & Henge, SN8 1QH
2 hours 30 minutes
Conclude at Europe’s largest stone circle, a 4,500-year-old complex enclosing a village. Wander among its 30-ton sarsens, part of a vast ritual landscape linked to Silbury Hill and ancient processional avenues. Restored by marmalade magnate Alexander Keiller, it pulses with the same energies that drew Neolithic pilgrims[8][1].
This route traces a sacred geography where myth, astronomy, and human ingenuity intertwine. From stone circles to chalk giants, each site invites you to feel the ley lines’ thrum and ponder humanity’s eternal quest for meaning.
