エキンズウェル、シドモントン、ビショップスグリーンでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

It might well be chalk in the summer time, It's most certainly clay during during the winter!

It's rather a steep way up, and weather depending, can be quite the challenge. Good footwear essential, but the hard effort is worth it with the views up top

Ivy is pesky stuff.

I must have been looking elsewhere, as I can't see the Hill fort from here.

Ladle Hill Fort is a famous unfinished Iron Age hillfort in Hampshire, England. Its abandonment mid-construction makes it invaluable for archaeologists, revealing the building methods for univallate enclosures. The site, also a Scheduled Monument, features well-preserved earthworks, a disc barrow, and earlier Bronze Age linear ditches, offering clear insights into ancient construction.

The Wayfarer's Walk is a 70-71 mile (113-114 km) long-distance footpath in England, running from the highest chalk downland to the coast. Here are the key details, which clarify its route regarding Wiltshire: Overall Route: It stretches from Inkpen Beacon (near the border of Berkshire/Hampshire) in the north, southwards to Emsworth Harbour on the south coast of Hampshire. Wiltshire Connection: The trail is primarily located within Hampshire and starts just over the border in West Berkshire. It does not pass through the main body of Wiltshire. Highlights: The walk follows ancient drovers' tracks and includes spectacular scenery over the North Wessex Downs, passing notable sites like: Walbury Hill (England's highest chalk hill) Watership Down Ladle Hill (the fort you asked about previously) Views of Highclere Castle The Meon Valley The path is well-marked with a distinctive "WW" waymarker.

There's a good log for sitting & resting under this tree.

The hillfort on the top of the hill has never been excavated, but the land and ditch are sharply defined and well preserved. This Iron Age fort is roughly rectangular and enclosed seven acres within an embankment and ditch. There are two probable entrances to the east and west. The work seems to have been undertaken by several different labour forces, each working on a section of the defences, but for some reason the task was abandoned and the fort left unfinished. Great to walk along the unfinished ramparts, it's windy and flipping huge!!!
