コビンガムの天然記念物・トップ8

Hike a bike for me on my gravel bike to get up here from the west but worth it, the views are stunning and the archeology very interesting

A walk around the lake is always pleasant. Can be quite muddy at the top end in the winter/ when wet.

Open all day and night. A very intriguing place. I sat for around half an hour one morning, had some breakfast and moved on. didn't see anybody else. found it very peaceful. unbelievable just how old it actually is.

This is a particularly scenic stretch along the Ridgeway, an ancient road which runs through right through the North Wessex Downs Area of Natural Beauty. The Ridgeway is often deemed Britain's oldest road, having been used by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers to travel cross-country since prehistoric times.

Interesting rock formations - didn't feel the need to get naked though

Wayland's Smithy is an atmospheric historic site about a mile's walk along the Ridgeway from the Uffington White Horse. A Neolithic chambered long barrow, it was once believed to have been the home of Wayland, the Saxon god of metal working. Human remains found on the site indicate that 14 people were interred in an earlier burial structure between 3590 and 3550 BC. Between 3460 and 3400 BC a second far larger barrow was constructed on top. It is the ruins of this that can be explored by visitors to the site today.

A must visit place if you are on the ridgeway.

This is a chambered long barrow. Probably constructed in the thirty-sixth century BC, during Britain's Early Neolithic period, today it survives in a partially reconstructed state.
