Can someone please be happy/laughing with me that Google Translate turns Amy's "henge and timber monument" into "Denkmal für Hühner 🐔" in German? - Great 😂😂😂

Riverside pub serving food and real ales

Great little diner, lovely breakfast bap to keep us going into a cold easterly wind.

The Woodford has a number of enjoyable winding country roads that are relatively quiet and well-surfaced and offer beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

No circus and no crowds like at Stonehenge. We were alone here and could look at everything in peace. On the other side of the road there are two rest areas for picnics with a beautiful view.

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

Upper Woodford is a pretty village in the charming Woodford Valley. The Sarsen Way long-distance trail passes through the village, while the Monarch's Way skirts it to the south. Walkers are welcome in the local pub, the Bridge Inn, which serves traditional pub grub, has outdoor seating in its riverside garden and has a wood-burner for those chillier afternoons and evenings.

Good trip for hiking or cycling with some interesting history. Not to far from Stonehenge

Very interesting

I'll go swimming elsewhere.

Great spot to stop for a breather or grab some refreshments before hitting the rest of the trial. food is great, reasonable prices and big beer garden. What's not to love?

You can take a nice cross country hike from the interesting historic Woodhenge ancient monument to the global icon that is Stonehenge. If you do this hike then you will save the parking and entry charges at Stonehenge (£30 ish). If you pay you get to go closer to Stonehenge (about 30m) but you get to within 70m on this walking route. You simply end up on the other side of the fence to the ticket purchasers. Plus you get a good walk out of it. Depends on what you want? Parking at start point. Hike Route - https://www.komoot.com/tour/1058100383

There's a small cafe just inside the main gate - you can bring your bike in and prop it up on the slope opposite the cafe and purchase some refreshments (without paying the full entry price). There are toilets in the car park too, which might be useful!

Open 7 days a week lunchtime and evenings. Bike friendly beer garden.

Ruins of an ancient settlement with great views of the surrounding area.

English Heritage site, members free. Non members current adult on the day ticket £6.60 (2022). Open 10:00 - 17:00.

The Bridge Inn - good selection of food and nice riverbank beer garden.

"Old Sarum, in Wiltshire, South West England, is the now ruined and deserted site of the earliest settlement of Salisbury. Situated on a hill about 2 miles (3 km) north of modern Salisbury near the A345 road, the settlement appears in some of the earliest records in the country. It is an English Heritage property and is open to the public." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Sarum "Old Sarum is one of the most enthralling and historically important sites in southern England. Uniquely, it combines a royal castle and cathedral within an Iron Age fortification, and for 150 years was a major centre of both secular and ecclesiastical government. Neither castle nor cathedral was occupied for long: in 1226 the cathedral was moved to Salisbury, although the castle remained an administrative centre into the 14th century. Old Sarum lived on, however, as a notorious ‘rotten borough’ which continued to elect members of Parliament until 1832." Cit. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/old-sarum/history/
