Walk Inspiration
Caches - 5
Stonehenge at EveryTrail
Another beautiful day. The sun streams into our room at the Old Mill in Salisbury. A full English Breakfast to build up the strength for today's walk and a short ten mile drive to Amesbury.
The Parking is town is free on a Sunday. Right next to the impressive church.
Another pretty church |
We say goodbye to our stalkers as they turn down a path marked for Stonehenge that is not shown on the OS Map. We continue up to the A303 and turn down the path at Stonehenge Cottages for a pleasant walk next to the Old and New King Barrows. Sonia shouts at me to look left for my first glimpse.
Stonehenge - Not Small, Far Away |
Cursus to the Left |
Fortunately, there is a permissive path that gets you almost as close to the stones. We are canny tourists. Armed with a map, a GPS, short arms and deep pockets.
Rich suckers on the other side of the fence |
The paths back to Amesbury are fine. All chalk and flint, with the promise of some interesting diversions.
We were almost tempted to leave our planned route and investigate |
A last goodbye to the Henge |
Just a street in West Amesbury |
As with many pubs in this area, the pub sold cake.
Everyone has been a winner.
