A chalky incline from Avebury village (and the stone circles), past the mucky farm and up onto the Ridgeway. It can get pretty rutted and steep here, so you'll want an easy gear for sure!

I'm not sure how this came up as a recommended highlight for this weekends exploring. This track, the mud and greasy chalky surface is only ridden by me if i have no alternative!

A section to be aware of - path quite slippy and rutted with rain. Mtb coming other direction warned me about it, after having a bad fall here.
