This is a beautiful section of the Wessex Ridgeway just north of Marlborough. The full ridgeway route is 136 miles long and is part of the ancient trade route that once stretched across England.

The wonderful views and fast flowing descent after Hackpen Hill heading South-East over the summit toward Marlborough

Got to be honest Farid mate this has given me the biggest laugh ever on Kamoot. Not like it's going to be there the next time!!!

A stunning little walk around the beautiful little village of Avebury home of the world's largest Neolithic stone circle along with stone avenues and ancient tombs. Much of Avebury and the surrounding landscape is owned and cared for by the National Trust and is free to explore for everyone all year round.

Fast moving cars along this cur through to Avebury

Moderate trail with Amazing history.

Avebury is an official World Heritage Site and the largest stone circle in the world. Creation began around 2800BC, this Neolithic site is bigger than its more famous cousin Stonehenge, just a few miles down the road, and quieter too. Avebury is also quite unique because it is the only stone circle and henge with a village built inside it. You can see the stones from all around the village and surrounding area but you can also walk right up to and amongst the stones. Access to this amazing site is free to all.

Silsbury Hill is a local legend, mostly because no one really knows what it was for! First created around the same time as Avebury Stone Circle, it has seen plenty of history since. The Romans built a settlement around it and historians have tried to tunnel into it to discover burial chambers, with no luck. It remains an intriguing mystery but a lovely monument to focus on as you run in the area.

Great little pub, very friendly staff, Very accommodating to cyclists (filling up water bottles, chatting about the route, etc...)

A extraordinary man made mound. It's huge and its purpose or meaning remain unknown. There's a little gate that will get you into the fields for a great view of the hill.

Pretty village town with a very wide High Street.

View of the Alton Barnes White Horse.

...although, other similar phenomena can also be witnessed at this location, like the aforementioned "just cows" or "just stones", but also "people+stones", "sheep+stones" and even the more complex "people+sheep+stones" 😉

"Avebury (/ˈeɪvbəri/) is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, in southwest England. One of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, it contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. It is both a tourist attraction and a place of religious importance to contemporary pagans. [...] Avebury is owned and managed by the National Trust. It has been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument, as well as a World Heritage Site, in the latter capacity being seen as a part of the wider prehistoric landscape of Wiltshire known as Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites." Also, the Avebury stones are still actively used by of followers of contemporary Pagan religions such as Druidry, Wicca and Heathenry, so much so that a formal rota has been established for ceremonies, and by those holding New Age beliefs. Typically, Pagan rites at the site are performed publicly and attract crowds of curious visitors to witness the event, particularly on major days of Pagan celebration such as the summer solstice.

Lovely little town with lots of nice cafes for mid ride coffee & cake.

On a clear day the views from on top the Ridgeway are excellent.

Avebury is a very impressive Neolithic site. It's great that you can get up close and touch the stones. Plus, it's free to enter. Well worth strolling around the full site.

fairly quiet, but can get busy in rush hour

Beautiful views up towards the ridgeway
