The Big Belly Oak is known as the great grandfather of the historic Savernake oaks, estimated to be around 1,100 years old. This would have meant it sprouted from its tiny acorn at around the time William the Conqueror defeated King Harold in 1066. The Big Belly Oak can be seen at the edge of the A346 between Marlborough and Burbage, but a wander through Savernake Forest is the best way to fully appreciate its impressive age and size.

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

This white horse was cut into the chalk in 1937 replacing the older 18th century white horse. It's best viewed from this road, you can walk across the field to it from the car park at the top of the hill but it's hard to get to a position to view it from close up.

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.

Step off the road and look in the bottom of the shallow depression. Here you will find this mysterious stone. Definitely worth a visit if only to learn about its history and folklore. Also the views from Chute Causeway are superb.

Some nice views of the Pewsey White Horse and the road going up it. Looks a lot steeper than it actually feels when you are on it. The road surface is pretty good all the way up which helps.

Erected in 1781, the Ailesbury Column is a defining feature of Savernake Forest. The column was built by Thomas Bruce Earl to thank his uncle for leaving him his estates. The singular column is made from limestone, with a bronze urn at its top.
