Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, the most straightforward route to Avebury from anywhere in Wiltshire is via the A346. If you are starting from Salisbury, take the A345 north towards Marlborough. At the junction with the A346, turn left onto the A346, following the signs for Marlborough. Continue on the A346 until you reach the village of Avebury. Follow the signs into the village, and you will find parking available in the designated car parks near the stone circle. Please note that parking charges apply, typically around £5 for the day.

• Public Transport

  To reach Avebury via public transportation, you can take a train to Swindon Station. From Swindon, you can catch a bus to Avebury. The bus service is operated by Stagecoach, and you can take the Route 49 bus heading towards Marlborough. Make sure to check the timetable in advance, as bus services may not be frequent. The journey from Swindon to Avebury takes approximately 30-40 minutes. Once you arrive in Avebury, the main attractions are within walking distance from the bus stop.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route and want to avoid public transport schedules, hiring a taxi is a convenient option. From Swindon or Marlborough, you can arrange for a taxi to take you directly to Avebury. This is a more expensive option, typically costing around £30-£40 from Swindon, but it provides flexibility and comfort as you can travel at your preferred time.
