Overview

Avebury, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow - we start from the National Trust Car Park at Avebury and walk through the village to follow the Wessex Ridgeway.  After a steady climb we join the Sarsen Way and follow it down to the bottom of Overton Hill where we visit The Sanctuary.  We then head for East Kennet village and follow The White Horse Trail, visiting West Kennet Long Barrow on the way.  We continue along The White Horse Trail past Silbury Hill before taking a short steep climb up Waden Hill to reach the Ceremonial Way back into Avebury.  Optional NT cafe at the end.
