Bus to link Stonehenge and Avebury!
Thursday, 01 July, 2010

The Wiltshire Heritage Museum is considering launching a bus service to link Stonehenge and Avebury. At the moment, it is extremely difficult to travel between the two, and the Museum hopes to be able to boost tourism in the Vale of Pewsey and the Avon Valley.

The Community Bus Service would be operated by minibuses, and the route would take in a range of archaeological sites and monuments in the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site, including Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow and Woodhenge.

The 'hop on, hop off' service would include free entry to the Wiltshire Heritage Museum in Devizes, encouraging people to discover the collections excavated from the World Heritage Site.

If the Museum is successful in raising funding, a pilot service would be operated this summer.

The Museum has launched an online survey to find out what people think of the idea of the service, and how they would like to use it. Please help us by completing the survey below.
