The Path: The formal Wansdyke Path is a long-distance walking route that primarily follows the impressive East Wansdyke in Wiltshire. ​Route: It typically runs for about 13 miles (21 km) between Marlborough and Morgan's Hill. ​Experience: Walking the path offers a spectacular experience, with sections that allow you to walk along the top of the impressive bank, providing commanding views over the surrounding Marlborough Downs and Pewsey Vale. ​Connectivity: Parts of the Wansdyke Path coincide with other regional walking routes, such as the White Horse Trail and the Wessex Ridgeway.

The Wansdyke is traditionally divided into two main parts: ​East Wansdyke: The most impressive and best-preserved section, running between Savernake Forest near Marlborough and Morgan's Hill in Wiltshire. ​West Wansdyke: A less substantial section running from Monkton Combe (south of Bath) to the hill fort of Maes Knoll (south of Bristol). ​Middle Section: The section connecting the two is often marked by the line of the old London to Bath Roman road.

​Dating and Purpose: It is generally believed to be post-Roman (late Roman or sub-Roman, possibly 5th or 6th century AD) and was likely built by the native Britons as a defensive measure against the expanding Anglo-Saxons.

​A series of early medieval defensive linear earthworks consisting of a large bank and a deep ditch. The ditch generally faces north, suggesting it was built as a defence against invaders coming from the north. ​Location: The Wansdyke runs in an east-west direction through the West Country of England, stretching across parts of Wiltshire and Somerset. ​Name Origin: Its name, Wansdyke, is thought to be derived from "Woden's Dyke", referring to the Anglo-Saxon god Woden.

James the Greater (the Latin 'major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church near Bratton was dedicated, was, together with his brother, part of the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark enumerates a list of the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James—them he surnamed Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder" (Mark 3:17). They were said to have had strong tempers, but were faithful followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His tomb in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia (Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Coming from Steeple Ashton direction, this is a gentle off-road climb up to a crest then a steady downhill developing into a fast descent down through the trees to sandpits lane. Just be aware the two bollards at the bottom! Then a steady climb up towards East Town then onto West Ashton. A personal favourite.

Outstanding views and the perfect place for a midride picnic or chill.
