Check our visitors guide to Avebury on the main site Favourite places to visitI've never actually been to Stonehenge but been past it hundreds of times. Personally I think Avebury has much more atmosphere &, yes, you can climb all over the stones there, whereas Henge is fenced off these days. If anyone has a favourite place they'd like to recommend, write us a review & we'll add it to the site. |

we go to avebury every year when we are at a rally that way - makes for a nice ride out before the drinking ensues, and there is a nice greasy spoon near by, with a lovely girl thats worked there for that last few years who has a huge pair of personalities  |

Were's the greasey spoon Sumo as I'm planning a small ride out at work to have lunch at 'The Red Lion' but it has been given some really bad reviews of late, so I may need an allternative. I will be doing a dummy run soon to find out if things have improved or we may use your info. Many thanks m8 |

can remember without being there but general direction is turn right out of avebury down the hill and where it picks up the main road there are a few roundabouts. on one of them is a pretty big cafe on the left - not a great deal of help i know but i tried.... its easy when riding, i may well have missed out a few turns haha. ill ask if any of my mates actually know the name of the place

Many thanks for that Sumo. I'll take a look and follow your directions to the letter . Might be nice to get very lost in that part of the world.  |

The Red Lion was always a great place to eat. Huge portions, (like the lass in the cafe), & good quality too. It does get very busy at weekends though. Very popular with the biking fraternity, (like the lass in the cafe).
