Overview

We start and finish at the car park, Downs Lane, Manton. Following paths, bridleways and lanes we head towards Rockley before walking north west along Temple Bottom. Rising westwards we pass a range of Sarsans stones before joining the White Horse Trail back towards and through the fabulous Fyfield Down ‘Valley of the Stones’. We make a short ascent back up to the Bridleway that takes us back to the car park. We should have some lovely views on the route weather permitting. No stiles on route.
