Take the small path just over the entrance road to Stonehenge, on the right This leads you right oast the stones and some lovely picture opportunities. It then goes over grass to a double gate beside the A303. You need to cross over the A303 to be able to ride safely up the hill on the pathway and then cross back over at the top to rejoin the gravel. Or simply cycle uo the grass verge as I did but this is a lot more sketchy. A fantastic ride and you are only 10 mins from the end.

Larkhill Camp – Eerie Order on the Edge of the Plain Larkhill Camp feels like riding through a live blueprint of military precision. This historic garrison town, perched on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain, isn’t your typical village stop — it’s a place where wide tarmac roads stretch between regimented rows of near-identical housing blocks, all arranged with deliberate symmetry. Founded in the late 19th century as an artillery training base, Larkhill is still an active military camp, home to the Royal Artillery. You’ll feel that presence in the design — everything is clean, uniform, and spaced out. There’s a peculiar quiet, even when the camp is busy, and it lends a kind of surreal calm to your ride through. While not a classic beauty spot, it’s fascinating in its own right — a moment of stark contrast between the ancient wildness of the Plain and the tightly ordered world of the MOD. It’s not uncommon to hear distant explosions or spot helicopters overhead. And just beyond, the landscape opens up again into chalk trails and flint-edged bridleways. 🚴‍♂️ Bikepacker Tip: Water and supplies are limited here — the camp isn’t set up for tourists — so fill up in nearby Durrington or Amesbury if you’re heading across the Plain. Watch for MOD signs, especially if venturing off-route. 📍 Highlight Type: Urban/Military Landmark 🌄 Surroundings: Military roads, open grassland, access to training areas 📷 Vibe: Surreal, stark, historically charged

Lovely Ford. Quite picturesque.

Old bridge and Ford Bridge within short distance of eachother

Lovely fields of mud after rainfall. Rode in February. It had been raining quite a bit, what fun.

We had to cut off part of the route as it was too bogey.

wet and muddy day out with Ashley would've been a good gravel ride in the dry missed out Grovely Wood Wheatsheaf Pub was a good start finish venue

We stayed here for the Enve Stone Circle Ride and it was absolutely beautiful!
