A walk on the Marlborough Downs south of Swindon. Starts at the Iron Age hill fort at Barbury Castle and then crosses to a second fort at Liddington Castle. Continues due south along a chalk scarp close to Upper Upham. Then west along the Sarsen Way back to Barbury. This is a walk on open chalkland with good paths and a little minor road walking. There are two moderate climbs, each of 300-400 feet. A coffee stop at Liddington Castle and a lunch stop around Upper Upham.
