Woodford Bridge and River Avon View

Highlight • River

The River Avon is spectacularly pretty, particularly in Salisbury and upstream. Woodford Bridge is a gorgeous place to view it, complete with weeping willows pouring their fronds over the surface and swans drifting in the sunshine.

The riverside here has a well-placed pub and a few benches for you to while away the hours in utter serenity.

The Bridge Inn

Highlight • Pub

Upper Woodford is a pretty village in the charming Woodford Valley. The Sarsen Way long-distance trail passes through the village, while the Monarch's Way skirts it to the south. Walkers are welcome in the local pub, the Bridge Inn, which serves traditional pub grub, has outdoor seating in its riverside garden and has a wood-burner for those chillier afternoons and evenings.

Normanton Down Barrows

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the crest of this downland ridge is a Neolithic long barrow and around 40 Bronze Age round barrows, ancient burial grounds dating back to between 2600 and 1600 BC. Visible from Stonehenge around half a mile (0.6 km) to the north, Normanton Down Barrows have long been the subject of archaeological digs. Today they're a scheduled monument and part of the Avebury and Stonehenge World Heritage Site, so digs are strictly controlled.

Queensberry Bridge and Footbridge over the River Avon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Queensberry Bridge is a stunning stone span crossing the River Avon on the outskirts of Amesbury. It's a Grade II-listed structure and was built in 1775 with limestone ashlar and elm planks. It's used as a road bridge and has a neighbouring footbridge for pedestrians which offers an unbeatable view of the stone span.

From either bridge you can admire the river, the weeping willows and the vibrant green surroundings.
