A giant horse cut into the chalk hillside, the Pewsey White Horse is visible from the Severn and Thames Cycleway. Although one of the smallest of the eight white horses in Wiltshire. The horse was originally cut by or for Robert Pile from Alton Barnes, in the 19th century, before being recut in 1937.

The tour passes through Avebury Stone Circle, supposedly the poor relation to Stone Henge but in my mind far far better. Hug a stone for free!!

Avebury Stone Circle

Highlight • Monument

Avebury is an extraordinary place in the North Wiltshire & Wessex Downs AONB. One of many Neolithic sites in the area, this stone circle is large enough to encircle part of the village.

Many of the stones have names and myths attached to them and there were 100 when it was first built between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago. In the vicinity lies West Kennet Long Barrow, Silbury Hill (a prehistoric fort) and numerous other standing stones and long barrows. Stonehenge lies to the south near Amesbury; a more famous but smaller circle in diameter.

You can visit Avebury's stone circle for free and there are plenty of footpaths passing through which will take you to the other nearby remnants of prehistory.
