REBURIAL issue relating to the child's remains in the Avebury museum has been widely consulted according to English Heritage and National Trust and they will now remain where they are. See Honouring the Ancient Dead page on this site or follow this link for further discussions
Access difficulties to Avebury WHS Site
Whether it is disabled access which needs upgrading especially at the gate opposite the Red Lion pub, or the height restrictor on the main car park which prevents vans higher than 2.6 m entering at festival times especially - we are campaigning hard to get NT to obey their legal obligations.
CAMPING INFO AT AVEBURY
Eight years of discussion has NOT produced an official campsite and the lack of alternatives in the area are demeaning to the requirements of such a regularly visited World Heritage Site.
Avebury
Ancient and modern - Avebury still remains a sacred place
Summer Solstice 20 - 22 June 2011
CAMPING AND PARKING INFORMATION
On the above link on National Trust website
"The summer solstice observance at Avebury is expected to be very busy and there will be limited car parking as a result.
From Monday 20 June until mid afternoon on Wednesday 22 June there will be a temporary campsite alongside the car park, opening at 9am on Monday 20 June and closing at 2pm on Wednesday 22 June. There will only be 93 tent spaces, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. They are expected to be in high demand.
There will be no camping available on the weekend before the Solstice.
We would advise anybody planning to come to celebrate the solstice at Avebury to consider both finding accommodation in official campsites nearby and to visiting by public transport. The main celebrations will take place on the evening of 20 June and at Sunrise on 21 June.
The National Trust is part of the Avebury Solstice Planning Group and works closely with police, the local councils, residents, the fire brigade and other safety groups to ensure that this is a peaceful and safe event for those who wish to celebrate the solstice here.
Camper Vans and Mobile Homes
Outside the Summer Solstice, you are welcome to park your camper van in the main car park during the day, but we unfortunately cannot allow you to park overnight in our main car park.
This has been a condition of the Enforcement Notice of Kennet District Council since it was imposed on January 1, 2007. Please help us to comply with local regulations by noting the closing times of the car park. Breaching these conditions can cause a nuisance to local residents and we may have to remove your vehicle from the car park.
