Guided Tour of Thornborough’s North Henge

Tours run from 11am-12.30pm on Sunday 10th and 24th May and at 6-7.30pm on Wednesday 27th May

Thornborough Henges are a unique triple henge dating back to the Neolithic period and have a number of other significant features which are no longer easily visible. The northern henge is the best preserved henge of the three with impressive banks and ditches, thanks to its covering of trees which were a relatively recent addition.

Your tour guide will explain the interesting archaeological features that are in the north field but are no longer visible. You will also learn about the nearby significant Iron Age features which have been quarried out.
