We are the Hampshire 40+ Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This walk will include a majestic stretch of the Ridgeway, a walk through water meadows and the chance to see the main sites of the Avebury area. These include the stone circle in the village, Silbury Hill, the West Kennet Long Barrow and the Sanctuary. There will be plenty of time to explore these sites. And there will be great views.
Please bring food and drinks for two refreshment stops. Our first stop will be on the Ridgeway. We will descend the the villages north of Avebury, and weather premitting will enjoy a picnic lunch within the stone circle in Avebury village.
Park in the car park signposted on the A4 for The Sanctuary and the Ridgeway. There are spaces both to the north of the A4 on the track which becomes the Ridgeway, or to the south of the road in a long layby. Meet to the south of the A4 at The Santuary, just off the road by the parking.
