As well as visiting the standing stones we visited Avebury Manor, a 16th century manor house now run the National Trust.  Unlike most stately homes you can touch everything, in fact you are encouraged to do so.  Play snooker, sit on the chairs, lay on the beds find out what a straw mattress was like to sleep on.  Lie on the chaise lounge.  It has large beautiful gardens too, a vegie garden and a topiary garden.
