Avebury the largest stone circle in the world
On the banks of the Kennet River and at the foot of the rolling hills of Marlborough we find the largest stone circle in Europe. It is a structure dated to the Neolithic, consisting of a circular embankment of 425 m in diameter, 1.3 km in circumference and 6 m high, whose walls are built with Cretaceous blocks extracted from inside a 10 m deep circumscribed moat.
