Silbury Hill


Silbury Hill is the largest neolithic man-made mound in all of Europe. It was constructed at the same time as the Egyptians were building the pyramids. We visited it while on a day out at Avebury to see the stone circles that can be found there. I imagine the views from the top are great but you are not allowed access for obvious reasons.

  11. I've been to Avebury, but we didn't see this at that time. We did Avebury and Stonehenge, as well as Salisbury, on that day trip. How high is this hill?
