Overview

We leave from the car park, and start our stone bothering adventure by heading in the direction of Barbury Castle. We turn and walk towards the White Horse Way which we follow until we leave it to stop for a short break in the open access area which is dotted with many grey wethers. We then go on a little further until we re-join the Ridgeway for the walk back to the car park.

Please bring your lunch.
