Walking in the Vale of Pewsey
An exhilarating circular walk, visiting the Alton White Horse, Pewsey Downs National Nature Reserve, Stanton St Bernard, Kennet & Avon Canal, Honeystreet and the two Altons - Alton Barnes and Alton Priors. The views of and from the downs are fantastic.
You also have the opportunity to visit the Crop Circle Exhibition & Information Centre at Honeystreet Mill. This fascinating exhibition is open all year round.
And if you have time, drop in to the Photo Museum in Alton Barnes on the way - a bit mad, but full of local history and photos!
Places to eat and drink along the way:
Honeystreet Mill Cafe at Honeystreet - Dog Friendly
