Fantastic place to visit, dog friendly, very peaceful and other visitors are extremely polite. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. You see some amazing sunsets here, and if you're visiting on a night, the stars look magical because of the zero light pollution.

Interesting set of three parallel neolithic henges. The wooded one separated by the Nosterfield road, and the other two by the Thornborough rood where theres parking of about three cars. The gates are wheelchair friendly onto the short grassy fields

I love to visit the Henges once or twice a year to walk and wonder at the ancients ability to build such amazing structures. The northerly Henge in the wood now has easier access and you can park at the nearby Nature Reserve to see the wonderful bird collection.

Parking on the side of the road between the 2nd and 3rd henge, no amenities, free parking and free entry, dogs allowed, not wheelchair access The northern henge at the moment can't be accessed but funding has been acquired to buy this for the nation. Well worth a visit if in the area to visit these Neolithic monuments, easy walking but amazing to think our ancestors walked here 4,500 years ago

Parking for this EH site is on the grass verge adjacent to site and is showing signs of winter use and could do with some maintenance. Couple of information boards at entrance. Large well maintained area of grassland and widely used to exercise dogs. Site would be quite non descript without the supplied information, but a nice walk on a historical site.
