About
The oldest continuously occupied settlement in Britain and home to the most famous and celebrated pile of rocks in the world, Amesbury has a number of claims to fame and is considered by many to be imbued with mystic and magnetic forces.
Just 7 miles from the city of Salisbury, with its weekly market and big high street names it offers the flavours of country life but with all the thriving amenities you’d expect in a modern town.
The land around it has been a settlement since before the Pyramids were built and there is evidence of huge prehistoric structures everywhere; Blue Stone Henge at West Amesbury, a Neolithic village in Durrington and the remains of the Amesbury Archer and Boscombe Bowmen found at Boscombe Down.
The richest Bronze Age burial site yet found in Britain was made at Amesbury in 2002. The remains of two aristocrats were found, along with arrowheads, copper knives and the earliest worked gold ever discovered.
Leisure
Of course, the area is perfect for historians and mystics to explore. There is also stunning countryside to enjoy or if you’re a creative type you can go and capture it on paper or canvas.
Nearby Salisbury has a theatre and cinema and an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants. There are also a number of small country pubs to find that are well-worth the trip. If you enjoy good food, then you really are spoilt for choice.
Nature lovers can visit the Hawk Conservancy to the east, close to Andover.
Transport
The main route is the scenic A303 which stretches to the West Country and also connects with the M3 and routes to London and Southampton. The nearest train station is in Salisbury and offers direct routes to the South Coast and London.
