Giant's Grave is a hillfort with an enviable view. It sits on a natural promontory, stretching south west towards the village of Oare, into the Vale of Pewsey.

On the summit you'll find a trig point at 820 feet (250 m) and wonderful views to the south, west and north. The White Horse Trail long-distance footpath ascends the summit on it's giant loop linking the south's chalk horse carvings.

The view from the top is worth the long uphill trek. You can spot the various villages of the area from above and see some of the grand old houses that once owned the land
