Five long pieces for the decisions a short answer cannot settle: which of the two great stone circles to give your day to, how to string five free monuments into one afternoon, whether the bus really works, which guided day is which, and what the seasons do to a site with no opening hours.

If you have one question rather than a decision, the blog answers them one at a time: how to visit, what every part of the circle is, what surprises people, going with children, and whether the combined day pays. The verified hours and prices sit on the visiting page, and everything bookable on Avebury Tours.
