This is exactly what I hoped for the first time I went to Avebury. Somewhere to camp that's the cheapest I've ever seen, safe, and near the stones.
Avenue Farm is someone's house that lets people use the back garden. There's only basic facilities; a toilet and two stand pipes with drinking water.
They charge £3 per tent per night. Note: that's per *tent*, irrespective of the number of people or whether you have a car.
If all you want and need is somewhere to pitch up, cook your food, and safely leave your stuff during the day, this is the one.
You just turn up, and then try to catch the friendly people in the house while they're in so you can pay.
The garden is populated by several cats, a dozen or so chickens who gently pester you for scraps of food, and two hilarious ducks.
Also, although the road down to Avebury has no pavement and is made treacherous by fast cars, there's a footpath just west, through the fields from Winterbourne Monkton down to Avebury. |
