All Day
This circular route from Aldbourne – which has lots of lovely views across chalk downland – heads north west out of the village and up to the Ridgeway. From there we follow the National Trail north to the hillfort of Liddington Castle (trigpoint 277m) – a good high point for a sandwich!
We drop down a bit before turning back towards Aldbourne and walking up and along the ridge of Sugar Hill – passing Four Barrows along the way.
I believe this, and other locations in Aldbourne featured in a spooky 1971 episode of Dr Who….
Great views to be had all around before we arrive back into Aldbourne via the church.
Meet: in the centre of Aldbourne by The Crown pub (SN8 2DU
9.15am to leave 9.30am (The public loos are near here)
About 4-4.5 hours walking plus stops.
11.5 miles
Note: there is a 10 minute walk along the wide verge of a road as we leave Aldbourne. You have to step off it into the road a couple of times. The road isn’t particularly busy but it is fast so care is needed.
Pub and cafe in the village.
Free parking in the village centre and public toilets.
