The best MTB trails around Wilsford Cum Lake

Free to get in - even if I am not 100% sure what is is after visiting :-)

Can someone please be happy/laughing with me that Google Translate turns Amy's "henge and timber monument" into "Denkmal für Hühner 🐔" in German? - Great 😂😂😂

Take the small path just over the entrance road to Stonehenge, on the right This leads you right oast the stones and some lovely picture opportunities. It then goes over grass to a double gate beside the A303. You need to cross over the A303 to be able to ride safely up the hill on the pathway and then cross back over at the top to rejoin the gravel. Or simply cycle uo the grass verge as I did but this is a lot more sketchy. A fantastic ride and you are only 10 mins from the end.

Just a fabulous summer gravel ride, very highly recommended. Deep ruts in places and lots of gnarly, sharp, flint gravel. So strong tyres recommended. This is a ride where bike handling skills are important on some narrow/ rutted descents. Very steep hill 16% after Berwick St James Cannot recommended this ride highly enough, simply stunning.

Be aware that after Stonhenge the route takes you down hill on a grass path and you terminate at a double gate beside the A303. The route then indicates to go up the hill to the left apparently on the A303. However, I believe that if you cross over the A303 again ( traffic is pretty slow here usually but do exercise great caution). I think there is a foot path the other side of the A303 that you can ride on in safety up the hill before crossing back over to follow the track again I missed this foot path and rode on the verge, not as nice.

Fantastic summer ride. Highly recommended, just so beautiful on a warm sunny day. Navigation can be a little tricky but just use common sense. Such great views and such remote places. Really special. Also do stop at the lovely cafe at Berwick St James, a total surprise and a refreshment delight! This really is a great ride and one of the best that will stand out all summer. I used a hard tail mtb and would recommend this and quite tough tyres. As this is over a lot of pretty gnarly loose flint gravel which can give tyres a very hard time. Definitely carry spares and a pump. Great views of Stonehenge, couldn't believe the crowds and you want the little path just past the entrance road to the Stones not the entrance road. There is someone there usually to assist you. Cannot recommend this ride highly enough!. There is a steep hill just after Duck lane at Berwick St. James which tops out at 16% " Whitehill". Although the left hand fork on the approach leads to the same place.

A television series that I wholeheartedly recommend introduces culture-loving viewers to remarkable testimonies to human activity from many countries around the world. What they all have in common is that they have been granted "World Heritage" status by UNESCO. One of the episodes documents the ancient and still mysterious stone circle of Stonehenge. The accompanying documentary states: "The Salisbury Plateau in southern England is a harsh and uninviting area, often subject to cold and biting winds. About 5,000 years ago, during the Neolithic period, people lived here, about whom we know very little. But what they and subsequent generations left behind is impressive beyond measure: the stone circles and burial mounds of the Megalithic culture."
