    Vandring

    Wayland's Smithy is a Neolithic chambered long barrow. The site was once believed to be the home of Wayland, the Saxon god of metalworking, hence the name. Excavations have revealed that 14 people were buried in an earlier structure on the site. Between 3460 and 3400 BC a second, much larger barrow was constructed on top, which is what you can explore today. The site is managed by English Heritage.

    Just off the trail is Waylands Smithy, a Neolthic burial ground. Cool place to stop and have a rest/snack before carrying on.

    Vandring

    Wayland's Smithy is an atmospheric historic site about a mile's walk along the Ridgeway from the Uffington White Horse. A Neolithic chambered long barrow, it was once believed to have been the home of Wayland, the Saxon god of metal working.

    Human remains found on the site indicate that 14 people were interred in an earlier burial structure between 3590 and 3550 BC. Between 3460 and 3400 BC a second far larger barrow was constructed on top. It is the ruins of this that can be explored by visitors to the site today.
