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. The scenery is lovely, but it is also quite exposed in adverse conditions. 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.  

Intermediate - A faster pace than Gear 1 and an established technique is key, but if necessary a little more recovery time for those that need it. 

 

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
