Amesbury in Wiltshire is 14 miles west of Andover and 9 miles north of Salisbury. It is one of Wiltshire’s most attractive towns, famous for being the refuge and final resting place of Queen Guinevere, of the Arthurian legend.
From Amesbury you can stand and gaze upon the downland of Salisbury Plain and the hills that stretch away into the distance and enjoy an awareness that man has been living in this place continuously for over 4000 years.
Locally there are numerous earthworks, over 200 burial mounds, Stonehenge which was built sometime between about 2000BC and 1000BC and its nearby predecessor, Woodhenge.
Amesbury has a Norman church which is the surviving part of a once great Abbey – the classical mansion now called Amesbury Abbey is on the original site.
