If you are a Ramblers member, please bring your membership card. You MUST text or ring the leader to BOOK a place. You should not join the walk unless you have received a verbal CONFIRMATION or a TEXT.
Starting at the Sanctuary, we first head north to find the Polishers Stone. Possibly a fallen standing stone, the Polisher is a very rare example of a stone used to polish stone axes. We then head a little further north along the Ridgeway, before turning and making our way across Avebury Down back to the beginning. It is mostly up hill all the way for the first half, and down hill for the second. We will stop for a break to explore the sarsen stones known as Grey Wethers and have a bite to eat, so please bring your refreshments.
For those members who are happy to car share, we meet first at the Bath Road car park in Chippenham. (“Pay and Display”).Lifts are suggested at £2.80.
The walk starts from the car park on the A4 just opposite The Sanctuary which is at the top of Overton Hill.
