Nice little cut through to avoid the main roads to and through Marlborough. It can get quite busy past the college entrance, so caution and slow speeds is advised.

Beautiful lil town, some lovely walks through the trees too

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

Coarse gravel all the way up and down.

Great views looking west over Salisbury Plain
