The manor was smaller than I had imagined from the TV series, but that didn't lessen my appreciation and enjoyment of the experience. Apart from the well known "hands on" policy of this property, I also admired the engagement of the room guides with the concept. It helped make our visit so much more memorable. The period rooms worked well,... More

We visited with our grandchildren and had such fun!! On entering the Manor our two grandaughters were told to pretend that they were visiting a friends house. That they could looking all the cupboards, open the drawers, sit on the chairs and lie on all the beds!! So very hands on. Youngest one had a surprise when she picked up... More

We went to Avebury for a quick trip to see a bunch of old stones. As we are National Trust members we went into the Manor too. Really interesting trip through history as the BBC took an empty house and 'did it up' with each room relevant to a different era/owner. We were also impressed with the museums on history... More

We saw the restoration programme on television in Australia and decided then that we would have to visit when we travelled to the UK. It really was well worth it. Apart from the delight of seeing it completed the great thing is the enthusiasm of the many volunteers who really make you feel welcome. They don't stand quietly by but... More

We visited Avebury Manor on 30th April 2013. It was a beautiful sunny day if a little chilly. There is a useful and interesting museum giving ancient history of the site and also a film of the previous owner which gives an interesting insight in to the more recent history of the house and estate.The Manor itself is delightful. Instead... More

Even if you did not see the BBC programme charting the restoration of this once run down neglected Manor House that the locals campaigned and helped in conjunction with National Trust to renovate it a joy to visit. The first thing that strikes you is the fact you can touch and try out everything in the building which is marvellous... More

This was an interesting stop on our trip because we'd actually been to Avebury last year already and had chosen to skip the Manor due to the steep entrance price, but this time decided to go in with our family who were very interested. I was really impressed with the Manor house, not only because of the quality to which... More

The BBC made a series showing how they refurbished each room in the style of one of the various previous owners. Because much of the contents is modern reproduction you are allowed to sit, lay, touch as much as you like. And I particularly enjoyed the fact that you can take books out of the cupboards in the library. I... More
