This stretch of downland is particularly notable for its tumuli (ancient burial mounds) at Old King Barrows and New King Barrows. It's just a short walk from the town of Amesbury and the famous Stonehenge. There are around a dozen beautiful yew trees to see here, as well as oak, ash, hazel and larch.
