The Long Barrow at All Cannings  

The Long Barrow at All Cannings is a spiritual place where people of any or no faith can come to remember and give thanks, 

especially for the lives of their loved ones

As a Druidic Place of Worship we have celebrated the Solstices and Equinoxes throughout the pandemic and remembered those dear to us .

We hope 2025 will enable us to welcome more of you to join us.


The Long Barrow regular events 2025:

Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice Evening, Autumn Equinox and Winter Equinox Sunrise,

Dates to be confirmed


Everybody welcome of all faiths or none. The Barrow will be open.

There is no pressure to take part in the Public Worship



The exterior is free to visit at all reasonable times.

It is has internal chambers with niches and is used as a columbarium or place for cremated remains in urns to be kept.

The income from the leases of the niches funded the construction. 

It was the first Novolithic Barrow, built in 2014 in the style of a traditional long barrow in natural materials, but made relevant for today in its internal layout. All the niches are reserved but due to circumstances changing  niches may become available, please email  tim.daw@gmail.com if interested.

Visiting the Long Barrow
  We normally  hold Free Open Days at the Long Barrow at the solstices and equinoxes which include  Druidic celebrations at dawn and where there will be some public worship.
 Everybody welcome of any faith or none.  Registered Place of Worship 84705

The size of the interior of the Barrow makes sensible social distancing  difficult and we may limit numbers inside at anytime for your safety.

When visiting there is parking on the drove. The ground will be wet and there may be mud. Please also be aware of rough ground, slippery slopes and low stone lintels.

The exterior is open for visits at all reasonable daylight hours, access is granted by permission of the landowner, and it is a quiet and respectful place to spend some time.
 Apart from open days the interior can be visited by arrangement, please contact us  - email Tim Daw .
The Long Barrow is operated by Tim Daw. 
To cover the costs of a visit a suggested £30 is asked for for the group.  Payment can be made on the payment page.


The recommended approach is from the Horton Road out of Devizes. Take the A361 through Devizes and at the last roundabout take the 3rd exit, passing to the right of the car garage, signed “Allington, Horton & Bishops Cannings”. This will take you through the village of Horton and on through Allington. Stay on the road and after you leave Allington there is a brown sign on the right indicating access to the Long Barrow. Postcode SN10 3NN. Turn right down the track and the Long Barrow is about half a mile down it. There is a parking on the drove at the Long Barrow. The track from All Cannings is more potholed and not  recommended. The surface of the track is the responsibility of Wiltshire Council.
