Avebury Calling! Your Stone Age Adventure Starts Now (But Maybe Not Literally Now, Buses Don't Run That Often)
So, you've decided to ditch the double-decker tours and dodge the selfie sticks at Buckingham Palace. Wise move! Instead, you're setting your sights on Avebury, a prehistoric wonder that makes Stonehenge look like a recent garden project. But before you start practicing your best caveman grunts, here's the lowdown on getting there from the big smoke.

| How To Get To Avebury From London |
Your Chariot Awaits (Unless It's More of a Double-Decker)
There are two main ways to conquer the journey from London to Avebury: by train and bus, or by car.
Train and Bus: The Scenic Route (with a Side of Transfer)
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
This option is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of a travel adventure. Buckle up for a train ride to Swindon (don't worry, it's not all about roundabouts), followed by a delightful bus journey that will whisk you past the English countryside. Just be warned, those double-deckers might not be as spacious as your TARDIS (sorry, Doctor Who fans).
Car: The Need for Speed (Well, Not Exactly)
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
If you're itching to get your Lewis Hamilton on, then grabbing a rental car might be your jam. It's a pretty straightforward drive, although dodging sheep on the backroads might be more challenging than a London rush hour. Plus, parking near Avebury can be a bit of a prehistoric puzzle, so be prepared to flex those parallel parking skills.
Important Note: Whichever mode of transport you choose, be sure to check the schedules beforehand. Buses to Avebury aren't exactly as frequent as the Tube, and you don't want to get stranded with a thumbs up sticking out, hoping for a passing wooly mammoth (they're extinct, by the way).
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Adulting Never Stops)
Now, let's talk logistics.
 |
- Train Tickets: Trainline or National Rail are your best bets for grabbing train tickets.
- Bus Tickets: You can snag these directly at the Swindon bus station or check the websites of local providers like Wilts and Dorset [invalid URL removed].
- Car Rental: The usual suspects like Avis, Budget, and Hertz all have shops in London. Just remember, driving on the left – unless you're a rebel with a cause (but please don't cause any accidents).
