Overview

The walk takes us over the Downs to the Devils Den then on through Clatford Bottom, over the River Kennet and down to Clatford. After leaving Clatford we cross the river again and reach Fyfield and it's pretty church. From Fyfield we head up a sharp ascent to reach Fyfield Down and its Sarsen stones before heading back to the cars over the gallops. The walk has one noticeable incline and a number of other ups and downs . One or two stiles should be expected. There may be livestock enroute and sticks may also be useful as it could be slippery in places.  
Please bring refreshments for one stop. We will be back for lunch

Park and meet in the car park near Manton House on the west side of Marlborough. Leave the A4 down a minor road signposted Manton House and Hollow and follow this for approximately a mile. Now turn left by a "by-way" sign and immediately right into the car park. If you reach Manton House you have gone too far
