Discover Wiltshire's secrets of Stonehenge on Saturday

11:00am Saturday 4th February 2012 in News

Enjoy a winter afternoon walk up on the downs learning about the ancient archaeology of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site and the area’s varied wildlife. On this three-mile walk with views of the stone circle, you will visit ancient earthworks and learn about the Cursus, the many and varied barrows, and an ancient avenue connecting ceremonial centres.

Wrap up warm as it gets chilly up on the downs and wear stout footwear. You may like to bring a drink and a snack. Meet at the Stonehenge car park, map reference SP4 7DE, on Saturday at 2pm, by the two touching stones at the top of the slope that leads down towards the Stonehenge Cafe.

Dogs on leads welcome. Adults £3, accompanied children free. The terrain is mostly grassland and trackways, often uneven underfoot.
