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.

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.

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?

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.

Amesbury is a small town close to Stonehenge and is the perfect base for exploring the Neolithic monument. Within the town, you find a good choice of accommodation, places to eat and drink, shops, historic buildings and other attractions.

From this spot, you can see Stonehenge standing proudly in the distance. As soon as I saw it, though, I knew I had to get closer. Keep riding along this track and take the path right and you can get as close to this Neolithic monument as the paying tourists do.

Dating back to the 12th century, this simple yet impressive church sits on the edge of Bulford, near the River Avon. The south tower was built in the 13th century and the entire building remains in excellent condition. The church is an important part of this small community and holds many events and local meetings throughout the year.

Milston has two footbridges over the River Avon and this is a particularly picturesque place from which to admire the river as it flows south to Salisbury. The water here is serene, the riverbanks quiet and the trees hang gently over the reflective surface. This footbridge allows you to reach Milston from Durrington and vice versa. Both the Orange Way and the Great Stones Way footpaths pass by.

Ablington is a gorgeous hamlet on the banks of the River Avon a little north of Amesbury and Salisbury. It's particularly notable for its phenomenal thatched, timbered cottages which make it rather look as though it's wandered out of an old folk tale. Some date back to the 17th century and have been lovingly taken care of.

Netheravon's church dates back to Saxon times and has a nearby 18th-century dovecote. The church was ruined by the time the Domesday Book was written but underwent an extensive renovation during the Norman era, much of which remains today. It's a Grade I-listed building and its churchyard has numerous military graves, usual for the churches in the vicinity of Salisbury Plain. The nearby dovecote was renovated in the 1980s and is now maintained by English Heritage. It once had 700 nesting boxes, many of which remain in place.
