Steep footpath from West Kennet Avenue over the bank surrounding Avebury Henge. |
This is part of the southeast section of the enormous outer bank, originally 6 metres high, which surrounds Avebury Henge (see next page for further details).
The footpath is to the right of a group of tall sycamore trees on the western end of the surviving section of the mound (see photo below). Walking up the steep path is made easier by steps formed by the roots of the trees. What the trees think of roots being trampled on is not recorded.
The path can get slippery during wet weather. If you don't fancy the footpath, you can walk around the end of the bank, to the left of the trees, to enter the henge. |
