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.
