Up to an hours drive from Salisbury but worth the visit if you’re into archeology. Said to be a better experience than Stonehenge. You can take a number 2 bus from top of Skew Bridge road and change at Long Street in Devizes to the 49, it will take around 1 hour 40 minutes an takes your through some pretty villages with regular stops along the way if you want to jump on and off to look around. The famous flight of locks the Caen Hill Locks on the Kennet and Avon canal at Devizes is with visiting.
