Walk Description:

This walk is across National Trust land along wide grassy tracks with Stonehenge on the horizon. The length can be adjusted a little depending on who is walking on the day but walkers should be happy to walk 2.5/3 miles. Some of the walk is across rough pasture and there is one style. It should take between an hour and an hour and a quarter.

Gear 1 - A nice, easy and natural pace that you can do for extended periods with recovery periods where appropriate. Short hills might be introduced. 

Gear 2 - A faster pace gained through technique. There will be less recovery time.  

Remember to wear appropriate clothes for the weather on the day.

Location Notes:

Turn off Countess Road to Woodhenge but keep going along Fargo Road, over several speed bumps, and just as you leave houses on your left there is a post box on your left. Park here on the road side. The farm track on your left is where the walk starts. I think the correct What3Words is: ///cargo.retrain.sleepless
