    Hiking

    Looked after by English Heritage but free to enter, Ludgershall
    Castle probably began construction in the late 11th century and was improved in the 13th century by King John and his son Henry III, when it was used as a hunting lodge. Today, the atmospheric ruins comprise three large walls and extensive earthworks. Also worth seeing is the 14th-century cross nearby in the centre of Ludgershall village.
