We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular, figure of eight, walk encompassing the key elements of Avebury village and the extraordinary set of Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial sites that seemingly form a vast ritualistic landscape. The walk will include The Sanctuary on Overton Hill, views (weather permitting) of the West Kennet Long Barrow and the mysterious Silbury Hill, whilst walking the length of the West Kennet (standing) Stone Avenue and the Neolithic Camp on Windmill Hill.
The underfoot conditions may be muddy in part, especially if it rains immediately prior to the walk day itself. Generally the conditions will be good. There is however little to no protection from inclement weather or sun, please dress appropriately.
Please bring food and drink for a mid morning break and lunch. There will be the possibility to purchase items at the NT cafe at Avebury but each walker should be self sufficient.
Numbers are limited to 16 , please book online using the booking form on the website via the link below.
There is no restriction on parking, but car sharing would be appreciated. The A4 is a busy (fast) road and entering and exiting the parking area requires care. Please park in the car park, which is North of A4, to the west of Marlborough
