About four years ago I did a walk on Fyfield Down to see the source of the sarsen stones (also known as grey wethers) from which Stonehenge was built. I decided to re-visit the area this week to refresh my memory but also to see the Devil’s Den which I missed last time.

This is an eight mile walk with a multitude of options t

Over the years I have driven past the delightful Fonthill Lake but never stopped to take a closer look, so I resolved recently to rectify this and take a walk around the whole Fonthill Estate. The Fonthill Estate is some 9,000 acres in size and has been owned by the Morrison family since 1830. They have cultivated deep links with the county of Wiltshire in that time.

Its ancient history, the flora and fauna, the sense of remoteness in the hills, and above all the immense views – its charms are impossible to resist. Wansdyke and the Kennet and Avon Canal represent two very different periods of the vale’s past and, and arguably two totally different modes of transport. Wansdyke’s history and purpose is the subje
