Which UNESCO World Heritage Site in the United Kingdom includes the prehistoric stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury?

The United Kingdom’s Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites includes the prehistoric stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury.

The property contains two major ceremonial landscapes in Wiltshire, southern England. Stonehenge is famous for its concentric arrangements of sarsen stones and bluestones, while Avebury contains one of Europe’s largest prehistoric stone circles. The associated monuments include earthworks, avenues, and burial features.

Construction and modification took place over many centuries during the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The precise purposes of the monuments remain debated, but their alignments, processional routes, burial contexts, and scale show complex social and ceremonial activity.

Stonehenge is not the name of the entire UNESCO property. The official property links Stonehenge with Avebury and related archaeological remains. UNESCO inscribed the site in 1986, and it is managed as a connected cultural landscape rather than as a single monument.
