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

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.

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.

A Neolithic settlement dating back to around 2800 - 2100 BC, Durrington Walls is an interesting part of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. Excavation works by the University of Sheffield found that a settlement of around 1,000 houses would once have existed on the site. Although small by today's standard, it would have been the largest village in northern Europe for a short while. Managed by National Trust, there is a great 4 mile (6.4 km) circular walk to discover Durrington Walls. You can park your bike in Woodhenge car park.
