Other walks in the area

Ogbourne St George to Avebury, The Ridgeway the Other Way

Departure from Ogbourne St. George (Wiltshire)

The Ridgeway the other way. The National Trail from NE to SW. The Stage 6 is a short walk as you will probably have to continue a bit further to get a place to stay and maybe head to Swindon or Trowbridge for onward travel. The countryside is a mixture of arable land, changing colour with the seasons, and areas of sheep or cattle grazed grassland. Some of the best views are from Smeathe’s Ridge as you climb gently up to Barbury Castle.

Avebury, West Kennett and Silbury Hill

Departure from Avebury (Wiltshire)

This Wiltshire walk provides a way of visiting many of the interesting World Heritage Neolithic sites around the village of Avebury including the Stone Circle, Silbury Hill and West Kennett Long Barrow.

Hackpen Hill and Overton Down from Avebury

Departure from Avebury (Wiltshire)

The North Wessex Downs provides some good walking terrain and this extended route from Avebury takes you onto the downs to follow a section of the Ridgeway.
