Stanton Drew Stone Circle and Cove Guided Tours
Stanton Drew Stone Circle, Stanton Drew, Stanton Drew, Somerset, BS39 4EW
To help celebrate Heritage Open Days, on 12 ,13 ,14 and 15 September our team of expert English Heritage Volunteers will be leading guided tours of Stanton Drew Circles and Cove.
Stanton Drew is the site of the most important stone circles in England, after Stonehenge and Avebury. There are three circles, of which the Great Circle is second only to Avebury in size, and a cove of three stones in the village. Recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.
Join our knowledgeable volunteers to find out more about this fascinating site. Tours are being held at 11:00 and 13:00 on 12 ,13 ,14 and 15 September. Booking is essential via Eventbrite
Please arrive 10 minutes before your tour start time at the entrance to the the Stones. Please note the tours are free but a £1 fee ( cash only) is charged by the landowner to access the circles field. You can pay this at the beginning of your tour.
There is limited free parking at the entrance to the stones field. Further free parking can be found adjacent to The Druids Arms. Farm livestock is likely to be present in the stone circle field therefore no dogs are allowed.
