Take to the skies on the Avebury Stone Circle helicopter tour for two! See the legendary stone circles from a completely new perspective and enjoy a thrilling ride above one of Britain’s most mysterious landscapes. Avebury is truly something else. The outer circle is the largest standing stone circle in the world, while the inner circles, though incomplete, include stones weighing over 100 tonnes. Even more remarkable, the village of Avebury sits right inside the main circle, making it a sight unlike anywhere else. Flying above these ancient monuments gives you a rare chance to take it all in. Set among rolling green fields, the stones tower over Avebury Manor, creating a scene that is utterly breathtaking. There’s a mysterious energy about the place, and the questions of who built it and why remain unanswered, adding to the magic. Your flight departs from Vowley Farm, a private estate near Royal Wootton Bassett. From there, you’ll head south to admire the stone circles from above. The helicopter tour for two lasts around 20 minutes and is flown in an executive Bell JetRanger helicopter or similar, offering an unforgettable bird’s-eye view of Avebury.
