Overview

Using field paths, tracks and byways we begin by heading to Rockley, passing through Temple Bottom before picking up the Ridgeway. We leave the Ridgeway at Overton Down and head for Fyfield Down with its Sarsen Stones.

Poles or sticks maybe useful as it could be muddy.

Bring refreshments for 2 stops.
