Avebury figure of Eight Loop - Upper Limits UK

We started from the NT Car Park in Avebury which is busy (so arrive early) but free to members after 9am.

From here, we headed out NE via the church picking up the byway leading up onto the Ridgeway.

Heading South, across to Overton Hill we then dropped down past the Sanctuary,the remains of the Ceremonial Temple into East Kennet to take in the church which was the site of the battle in 1006 between the Anglo Saxons and the Vikings where many who lost their lives were buried.

Using the paths we headed west to take in the Long Berrow before dropping down to pick up the River Kennet leading around Silbury Hill and back into Avebury.

For the second loop, we picked up the White Horse Trail up to Windmill Hill which offers views across to Cherhill Monument.

We dropped down South East the byway, track and road to pick up the byway heading East back to Avebury and our finish point.
