Marlborough to Pewsey

[Lejogplodder]

Part of the Marlborough downs and Pewsey vale in a fog turning to mist day, plenty of interesting features along the way including Avebury ring, Silbury hill, west kennet long barrow and a chalk horse, more detail map and video clips on my blog.

Excellent snaps i used to live in Swindon so these areas i have visited numerous times, Have you ever done the Ridgeway ? thats nice 100 mile walk.. Also worth a visit is Wayland Smithy..

i've only been over a few small sections of the ridgeway, thanks for the suggestion of waylands smithy as that gives me an idea for a different walk from Lambourne.

Yeah there is a walk called the White Horse way too, i done it 10 years ago.. its all the white horses in the area "funny that" .. I think you can get the booklet from any tourist info centre maybe Devizes.. thats a nice walk , i got picked up by the Missus every day..its about 80 miles all round Salisbury Plain,Cherhill, Pewsy, Marlborough,Devizes. i cant remember much more apart from it rained all the time.. . take care.

More thanks for the info, the more i look at maps the more paths that look atractive appear, i will certainly be back in that area as soon as the opportunity (time) allows.
Cheers J.P.
