Some really beautiful canal boats to be found along the walkway

Crofton Pumping Station advertises that it has the oldest working steam engine in the world. The idea was actually to route the canal through a mountain at a lower altitude using a tunnel. But this project was too expensive and too complex. That's why the pumping station was built. It once reliably filled the canal with water at the geographically highest points of the route.

The view from the top is worth the long uphill trek. You can spot the various villages of the area from above and see some of the grand old houses that once owned the land

Giant's Grave is a hillfort with an enviable view. It sits on a natural promontory, stretching south west towards the village of Oare, into the Vale of Pewsey. On the summit you'll find a trig point at 820 feet (250 m) and wonderful views to the south, west and north. The White Horse Trail long-distance footpath ascends the summit on it's giant loop linking the south's chalk horse carvings.

Bleak and desolate yet utterly captivating and atmospheric, Salisbury Plain is a wonderful place. With loads of gravel tracks to explore, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Be mindful of the military ranges, though.

There is a WWII pill box next to the parking lot. It's part of the defense line along the canal. https://pennypost.org.uk/2020/02/the-role-of-pillboxes-along-the-kennet-avon-canal-during-ww2/

This picturesque bridge spans the Kennet and Avon Canal in the hamlet of Honeystreet. With less than 30 houses, this tiny settlement sits beneath the southern scarp of the Marlborough Downs right alongside the historic Ridgeway trail. The canal here at Honeystreet often has brightly coloured narrowboats moored up along the wharf and you can even take trips in one. There's a cafe and a pub here too, making it a lovely spot for a bit of lunch.
