Stage 2 of Great Stones Way - Barbury Castle to Old Sarum.

Salisbury Cathedral

This summer we are undertaking some new walks including the whole of the Great Stones Way from Barbury Castle to Old Sarum following an ancient trail through the Pewsey Vale and Salsibury plain taking in the ancient sites at Avebury, Woodhenge and Old Sarum.

Today`s Walk:  Continuing on from previous section at Amesbury we walk through Great Durnford, The Woodfords and Old Sarum before ending at Salisbury Cathedral.

This is a longer linear walk and we will break for a rest and snack break at The Woodfords. We can spend some time at Salisbury before taking public transport back to Amesbury.

Length and Grade: A 10 mile walk with some ascents and descents. Possibility to end the walk at Old Sarum which will reduce mileage to 7 miles.

Location: Start to be confirmed after I recce the route.

Notes: This walk goes through various villages so there may be shops/facilities but bring snacks and drinks anyway.
