Visitors may view the hill from a nearby path and layby, but climbing it is not permitted.
About Silbury Hill, Wiltshire
Silbury Hill was built in stages by Neolithic communities around 2400 BCE, making it the largest artificial prehistoric mound in Europe. It stands near the Avebury henge complex, with which it likely formed part of a wider ceremonial landscape. Its original purpose remains uncertain, though its scale suggests a monument of considerable communal importance.
