After a short drive down the road, you will stop by Silbury Hill and take a walk up the hillside to West Kennet Long Barrow one of the largest Neolithic burial tombs in Britain and over 5000 years old. Your guide will take you into the burial chambers and bring it's fascinating history alive. Then it's off to Stonehenge for special access when the site is normally closed to the public.

Probably a great tour...Ours just wasn't.

This is probably usually a great tour but this particular day it just wasn't. I can only rate this as an average because there were some circumstances that caused our time in each site to be cut short. We were picked up 30 minutes past our scheduled time, there was an accident on the highway that held us up for about one hour and after Avebury there was a tree down on the road to Stonehenge so we had to find an alternate route. Although this was not the guide or drivers fault, possibly if we had eliminated the stop at the burial mound, because we were already running late, we would have had more time at Avebury and Stonehenge. The Stonehenge visitors center was closed by the time we got there and the lunch stop at Avebury was pretty much eliminated/rushed. So although we did see each of the locations I just feel we really rushed and didn't get our moneys worth on this particular tour. Maybe another time.
