Walk Description:

The Devil’s Humps

Perched on a hill above Kingley Vale, near Stoughton, the Devil’s Humps—also known as the Kings’ Graves—are a fascinating set of Bronze Age burial mounds.

These four ancient barrows sit along a ridge, offering breathtaking views across to The Trundle in one direction and Stoughton and beyond in the other. Arranged in pairs, two are bell barrows (shaped like bells), while the other two are bowl barrows (resembling bowls).

This walk is a favorite among members, not only for its rich history but also for the stunning scenery along the way. 

PACE Explained:

PACE 1  Approximately 3 to 3.5 miles per hour. A comfortable pace for anyone who wants to walk and talk. There is time to stop and take photos etc.  

PACE 2 Approximately 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour. This is a steady pace which might make your breathing a little heavier, especially on the hills. 

PACE 3 Approximately 4.5 to 5 miles per hour. This is for the more experienced walker who knows they can push the pace. There will be times where they will be breathless but there is also recovery (usually on the flat or downhill).  

Please be assured that we have a NO DROP POLICY (no none gets left behind) and the walk leaders will always ensure we use different methods to cater for different needs within the group.
