埃夫伯里石阵

我们去威尔特郡的埃夫伯里参观了史前石阵。非常有趣,还有展览。埃夫伯里庄园也很值得一游。

这个宁静的村庄在地图上只不过是个点,但却蕴藏着成百的巨石,古建筑师把它们排成一圈散落在小山上和路边,城里也随处可见。在那永恒的过去,人们用鹿角锹挖地基,然后把那些巨石拖出上千公里远,预知它们可以矗立几千年。把你的行程安排在黄昏,把车停在公共区,穿得暖和些。披着夕阳在那些古老的奇迹中穿梭,如同羊吃草那样你本能的从内心最深处感受着英格兰的过去。这是世界上都少有的未被破坏的可接近的历史之旅,可以完全的亲密接触。伦敦和史前巨石群都不能像这样的让你联想过去。

石阵是由一块块巨石组成的,跟史前巨石柱很相似,但是比史前巨石柱覆盖的面积更广,也没有形成堆叠结构。埃夫伯里村就在石阵之内。那个地方很棒,村庄也很漂亮,跟史前巨石柱不一样的是,你可以绕着石阵走,还可以触摸它们。那里还可以放牧,所以要当心羊粪。参观不需要付钱,但是停车得给钱。这地方不像史前巨石柱一样是个商业化的旅游景点,这里人很少。石阵好像曾经是寺庙里举行仪式招待异教徒的地方,还可能是天文学上的定位,但是很少有人知道真实情况。它们都是始于公元前2500年。埃夫伯里距马尔伯勒大概有5(8046米)到10英里(16093米),距石阵大概20(32186米)到30英里(48280米)。参观石阵的时候这个地方也很值得一去。

埃夫伯里石阵是新石器时代的一个里程碑,那儿将近有100块大石,围绕在埃夫伯里小镇的四周。那儿最古老的一块石头可以追溯到公元前5000年。许多人都觉得埃夫伯里石阵比巨石阵更天然,因为前者是免费进入的,而且还许游客触摸纪念碑。可是你如果也想在巨石阵有这样的体验的话,那么你就得在国民托管组织那儿耗上几小时,得跟他们疏通疏通。我之前就是这样的,而且就我个人而言,埃夫伯里石阵不如巨石阵那么壮观。如果说巨石阵是一条河的话,那么埃夫伯里石阵就是一条小溪。可是不管怎样,你还是会喜欢上这里的。我还是想向大家推荐埃夫伯里石阵,因为这里的布局感觉很像一个花园,还蛮惬意的。随着知名度的增加,现在已经有很多讨论是关于如何保护这里的,这大概就意味着以后游客只能远远地观赏这个石阵了。总而言之,这里挺美的。

如果你喜欢比较大的巨石阵,并想触摸一下这些奇妙的石头的话,就来埃夫伯里石阵吧。其他奇妙的东西也很多,红狮酒吧很不错,里面有一个咖啡屋,出售美味的素食。礼品店是经过国家验证的。如果你想进入石阵里面用相机拍照的话,你就得花钱去参观石阵一圈了。还是挺合算的。西尔伯里古丘和西肯尼特巴罗相邻,不可以在西尔伯里上面走,但可以进入墓穴观看。强烈建议晚上过去,因为那时候人相对较少,有时还会点上蜡烛。

Strange how the sat nav did not work at certain points around this mystical place. The intrigue about the place is facinating and the stones are awesome.

Lovelly to look at , and a great starting point for extensive walks in the area . Easy parking and a lovelly tea room for refreshment s .

Avebury Stone Circle has to be seen at least once on one's lifetime, approaching from "Stones Avenue" to get the full panorama, but can be a pain to get to by public transport that really does go around the houses, or in peak season when there is limited parking space. It is free, without the overblown publicity and expensive Salisbury Station tour bus (£14) that Stone Henge experiences, but you should do a bit of homework before arrival, both historic, and up to date bus and train services! The stones that remain are upright thanks to botched 19th century cementing by William Stukeley, but have much more character than Stone Henge. A car round trip is easily done from Salisbury via Old Sarum to the Henges and Silbury Hiil in the area. Be warned if you are a city dweller that even with a value Wiltshire Day Rover (£8.50 in 2015) bus connections back to Marlborough (No. 42) and Marlborough to Salisbury (X5) are appalling after 5pm, you may need to book a taxi from the Red Lion pub. Avebury is on the superior Bus 49 route from Swindon (train station) to Devizes (awful connecting bus services after 17.30) and Trowbridge train station. The nearest train station to Avebury is in the village of Pewsey, over 12 miles away (on X5 bus route), but don't expect regular trains to Reading, Paddington or the West. Perhaps with Trip Advisor a critical mass might get the former direct bus from Salisbury reinstated. In summer the energetic might try walking the Wessex Ridgeway from Marlborough right into Avebury with the best views.

We walked all around the stones and felt a sense of connection. This site is an important part of our history and it is gratifying to see that no development has been allowed to spoil it. Many thanks to the National Trust who have helped preserve the whole area and Averbury Manor.

We spent a beautiful afternoon walking amongst the stones circles .This Neolithic site is a must see if you are near.Had a lovely lunch at the Red Lion.Took the bus from Salisbury.We loved it. You can browse at your leisure,touch the stones and take lots of photos. There is also a lovely little gift shop just down a bit from where you catch the bus. If you get there take your time walk down the avenue to sanctuary.

This was my first visit to Avebury in over 40 years, and what a magical experience. To walk round, and touch the stones, erected 500 years before Stone Henge is a magical and mystical experience, in the wider landscape of Barrows and Henges.Although a lot of stones have been destroyed over the millennia, you still get the sense of what it must have been like to see them after they were first erected.The museum was interesting, and there is the usual, shop and catering, but the stones on a beautiful winters day cannot be beaten!

there was nothing to dislike. Beautiful surround area of real natural historical mystical beauty. Fascinating Pagan history. Well worth the visit to a charming historic village,A great visit for the enthusiastic outdoor goer with lots of fresh air

Astonishing yet lesser known cousin of Stonehenge, the sheer size of this monument surprised me. I knew the diameter of the stone circle was big, as I had seen it on Google Earth, but the size of the ditch and bank structure is amazing considering the tools available at the time - the museum estimates the time taken as 1,500,000 man hours.The village inside the stone circle is lovely too, with its church, pub, manor and cottages. We found the museum, which occupies two buildings, to be good value for money and well worth a visit, but we were not able to visit the manor ourselves that day due to time constraints. These ancient mysteries of our landscape are such an important part of our heritage that I will never forget this amazing place.

Avesbury is a pretty little village and the stones make for an interesting walk. The views are lovely and the barrows (aka hedgehogs) were something I hadn't experienced before. Silbury Hill is close by and so is West Kennet, Long Barrow.

We visited the site on a glorious day in February- it was more like spring than winter due to blue skies and sunshine. For this reason, apart from a pit stop at the tea rooms in the 'farmyard', we were outside for most of the day and so didn't go into the Manor House or museum.The stones are amazing and so are the views (to us - coming from a rather flat part of the country!). It was quite busy with several different nationalities around us but that added to the atmosphere, to be honest. Not all the stones there are the real thing though - concrete markers have been put in place to show gaps but, personally, I didn't have a problem with this. The ones that are remaining are worth the visit.As others have said, surrounding paths and fields can be very muddy and potentially dangerous to the unwary. This, despite our lovely weather on the day as, of course, we mostly have rain rather than sun in Britain!The 'farmyard' is quaint and lovely: it reminded us of the set in 'Babe'. Look out for the giant bird!! On the day we visited, the pond was frozen over but I imagine it would be home to the odd duck later in the year.Oh and look out for the 'map man' on your way back to the car park. A very enterprising individual (you'll know what I mean if you see him) but his maps are interesting and reasonably priced.
