Trip Advisor - Avebury :

Rating - Poor

"...The circle is so large that unless you are in the air you probably won't appreciate it. The stones are just blocks here and there and scattered over a large area. If you need to choose a stone circle, obviously Stonehenge is the way to go."

And there's that big scary ditch you could easily fall into :-)
A middle-aged American couple once stopped me at Avebury and asked what they were supposed to do there. "Do we just walk around?"

If I wasn't on my way home I would have offered a guided tour. Whats fair do you think, £30-40 for an hour or so, for a personal guide? Less per person if it was a small group I suppose.

I imagine it would be v easy to make money that way during the summer. It seems coach loads of people arrive and wander around on their own without a clue as to what they are looking at. I'm sure you'd be banned by the NT before you could say "crop circle calendar" if they caught you at it though.

Set yourself up a website, spam trip advisor and other similar forums. Then you just meet them off their buses and NT are none the wiser...
I wonder if its possible just to 'pick up punters' like some prehistory prostitute just by hanging around on the path from the car park.. 'i'll give you a good experience at the stones, darlin'..' etc etc

You'd need to check NTs bylaws. I expect they have one saying no plying a trade, but I don't recall one specifically prohibiting prostitution.

"Alright mister. You look like you might like something off the beaten track if you know what I mean? Maybe a bit of a polishing stone eh eh eh? Or maybe you like a firm tall menhir?"
