UNESCO World Heritage Site. Avebury stone circle is great for a walk through history, very atmospheric. A must see. (I prefer it to the more touristy -and expensive- Stonehenge)

Iconic, mysterious, wonder of the ancient world - one to tick of your list. Whilst here - go visit the Amesbury Museum - it's a small museum with a big collection of mesolithic and neolithic artefacts. Really friendly and well informed.

Woodhenge itself is interesting - but you can walk from here up to the cursus which runs above Stonehenge and get (what I consider) the best views of the Stonehenge landscape - for free!

Less than half a mile form Stonehenge - Durrington walls could be the 'builder's yard' for Stonehenge or maybe even the start of the funereal journey from the River Avon to Stonehenge. Excavations this year may reveal more. It's worth going to see!
