Overview

A moderate 10mile circular walk from near Alton Barnes(SN8 4JX), east of Devizes.  The first part of the walk includes extensive views from the Pewsey Downs and across the path where it is thought the Sarsen stones at Stonehenge were hauled from their origin at West Woods near Marlborough.  The centre part of the walk is through West Woods itself, during the bluebell season. Dog friendly, very few stiles, but expect some livestock.
