Steve Marshall's renowned book Exploring Avebury: The Essential Guide is just out in a newly expanded Second Edition. To celebrate, History Press have very kindly offered three copies to give away to Megalithic Portal readers!

Beautifully illustrated with over 400 photographs, maps and diagrams, this essential guide invites you on a journey of discovery around the greatest stone circle complex in the world. Steve Marshall, who lived for more than twenty years near Avebury and Stonehenge, reveals the vital importance of water, light and sound - allowing us to begin to see Avebury through the eyes of those who built it. A book for anyone who wants to move beyond a casual visit and truly understand this extraordinary landscape.

To enter, email [email protected] with the subject line Avebury Competition (you MUST include that to be eligible) and tell us the name of your favourite monument, stone or landscape feature in the Avebury World Heritage Site, and (briefly) why it resonates with you. Text only, no photos or attachments please - although you are very welcome to upload photos in the usual way.

The competition closes at the end of 17th July 2026 and winners will be notified by email. UK and international entries are very welcome. Good luck!

We plan to publish the best entries on the Portal so please include with your entry if you DO NOT want your name or entry to be published - or how you want to be credited.

If you can't wait you can also order a copy of the new edition from our Online Shop here.
