Start/Finish Avebury National Trust car park, A4361. OS grid reference SU 099 695
Total distance 26km (16 miles)
Time 2+ hours
Maps Ordnance Survey Landranger 173: Swindon and Devizes
Route summary Gentle climbs and undemanding trails make a perfect beginner’s route.
At the centre of Avebury’s stone circle, turn right onto the Wessex Ridgeway and begin climbing.
At the junction with the Ridgeway, turn left towards Hackpen Hill and Barbury Castle. Follow clear doubletrack north across one minor road at Hackpen Hill. At the second minor road (Barbury Castle), bear slightly right across Barbury Castle itself on the bridleway.
Follow bridleway to next minor road/car park, then bear right to pick up bridleway south past Four Mile Clump to Rockley. As the bridleway meets the road before Rockley, turn left then right on a dead end minor road.
At the end of the road in Rockley village, turn left onto ascending doubletrack beneath trees as the road enters a yard. Follow climb as it bears right, crossing a gate to follow the trail along the field edge onto Manton Down. Continue ahead as the path climbs and strike out on doubletrack across open fields. As you crest the hill, the NCN4 joins from the left, continue along it as it drops over Fyfield Down among the Grey Wethers then climbs to the Ridgeway. This is where you joined the Ridgeway after climbing out of Avebury. To shortcut the route go straight over to retrace your steps. Otherwise, turn left to stay with the Ridgeway as it descends over 2.5km of doubletrack to the A4.
Turn right onto A4 for just under 1km. Turn right onto the Avenue/B4003 to return to the centre of Avebury. |

Total distance 73km (45 miles)
Time 4+ hours on a dry day. All day if wet.
Map Ordnance Survey Landranger 173: Swindon and Devizes
Summary Mainly easy-going trail surfaces but distance makes it one for fitter riders.
Follow the Easy Route directions to junction with Ridgeway above Avebury taking you from the stone circle, over Hackpen Hill and past Barbury Castle.
Turn left onto Ridgeway to descend to A4. Turn right onto road, then left after 500m onto road signed East Kennett. Follow signs for NCN45 through East Kennett to climb on road over Lurkeley Hill.
Take doubletrack byway opposite a T-junction. Climb into West Woods, past the transmitter mast on the left and follow doubletrack through the woods, heading east. At the junction with the minor road go straight ahead then turn left at next T-junction to Clench Common, where you take minor road to the right.
At the car park at the crest of the hill go through a gate and climb a grassy path to Martinsell Hill. Bear left to follow the permissive path around the ramparts. Return to main bridleway and bear left along a sunken trail in the woods.
Cross A345 and follow the bridleway along the ridge.
At car park after Knap Hill turn right, ascend the bridleway to the right to resume ridge-top ride alongside Wansdyke.
At Tan Hill, turn left to pass the trig point. At road turn right and drop down to Allington, then first right along the bridleway (ignoring left-hand bridleway). Head north then to descend across Allington Down to Beckhampton. Follow signs for Avebury Trusloe, then take NCN4 and byway to Knoll Down.
Cross the A4 and bear west on Wessex Ridgeway track. Bear left at junction of byways to ascend Cherhill Down before taking bridleway to traverse the hill towards Landsdowne Monument.
After the monument, bear right on steep, rutted bridleway to descend to the A4. Re-cross road to Cherhill.
Follow NCN4 signs to return to Avebury via Yatesbury, White Horse trail and Windmill Hill. |
