Melbury Beacon

Historical landmark

👍👍 This place is absolutely beautiful. We took our five kids for a little outing there. They were able to handle the hike up the hill (16, 14, 12, 8, 1) - but it was pretty steep.

Avebury Henge and Stone Circles

Historical landmark

👍👍 Stonehenge is better known but in my opinion Avebury has a lot going for it.

No entrance fee for the Stones. Parking is current...

Castle Combe

Historical landmark

👍👍 I went there about 12 noon, it cold windy and breezy, slightly rain. It is beautiful place and architecture and I don't know who built it and most like s very rich and stable communities whose income base on farmland because from my observation it is very fertile and slight wet land.
