Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated UNESCO World Heritage Site

Prehistoric monuments, ancient landscapes, and historic routes across Wiltshire

The Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated UNESCO World Heritage Site spans a series of prehistoric monuments and ceremonial landscapes across Wiltshire. Centred on the stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury, the site contains some of the most important archaeological remains in Europe, including burial mounds, earthworks, processional routes, and ancient monuments that reveal thousands of years of human activity.

Connected to routes including the Ridgeway National Trail and a wider network of paths across the Wiltshire Downs, the site forms part of a broader landscape of historic places and open countryside. Stonehenge and Avebury link prehistoric monuments, chalk landscapes, and long-established routes across one of England's most significant cultural landscapes.
