Start at the museum
English Heritage suggests beginning at the Alexander Keiller Museum to learn about the six monuments in its care before walking out to them.
Sheep and dogs
Sheep often graze among the stones, so keep dogs on a lead; dogs are welcome everywhere except the café.
Silbury Hill from the viewpoint
There is no public access to the hill itself. The viewing area has information panels and a small car park with no space for coaches.
Wear boots
Paths between the sites are uneven and can be muddy; walking is the best way to see them.
West Kennet Long Barrow
Park in the signed lay-by on the A4 and walk half a mile uphill across farmland. There is an unguarded drop above the entrance.
