The National Trust has organised a summer of events at Avebury to celebrate the 25th anniversary of it becoming a World Heritage Site.
Visitors can attend a number of Time Travellers’ workshops, which sketch the history of the area from the early Neolithic period to recent history. The first one takes place on Sunday. It includes a visit to West Kennett Long Barrow.
Subsequent workshops take place on May 22 and June 12. Throughout the summer there will be guided tours of the area taken by archaeologist Dr Nick Snashall and museum curator Dr Ros Cleal.
Dr Snashall said: “We have everything from Neolithic settlements to Bronze Age burial mounds, Roman roads to Saxon settlements, from a medieval village to a 16th- century manor house.”
