Avebury By Public Transport
Getting To Avebury Independently

| Bus Stops In Front Of Red Lion Pub Within Avebury Henge Itself |
Avebury is in one of the sparsest populated areas in Southern England. As far as the eye can see there is just rolling countryside populated for the most part just by sheep.
Not promising for the independent traveler wanting to visit Avebury using public transport. Luckily Avebury is serviced by several local bus routes connecting the main towns in the area.
The nearest major town with good connections to London is Swindon. There are fast frequent trains between Swindon and London's Paddington station.
Two bus routes operate to Avebury from Swindon taking around 30 minutes.
One bus is the Hants & Wilts route 95/96 that runs broadly hourly Monday to Saturdays between Swindon and Pewsey via Avebury and Marlborough. On Sundays there is just a handful of journeys.
During the summer months it is possible to combine Avebury and Stonehenge in one long day. From Pewsey the 95/96 connects with the number 5/6 bus of Hants & Wilts that goes to Salisbury via Amesbury. You can walk to Stonehenge from Amesbury in about 20/30 minutes.
