Old Sarum

Highlight • Historical Site

Old Sarum is thought to have been one of the earliest settlements in Salisbury and it appears in some of the UK's oldest records. Built close to Stonehenge and the Avebury monoliths, Old Sarum probably dates back to around 3000 BC. The settlement lived through varied history including Roman conquest, and Saxon and Norman rule. In 1514, Henry VIII sold the castle grounds and the settlement gradually fell into decline.

The site is now managed by English Heritage and Grade I listed. You can visit from 10am - 4pm Friday to Sunday. Entrance is £5.40 per adult.

Gravel Tracks Through Wiltshire Countryside to Old Sarum

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

These gravel tracks take you through spellbinding Wiltshire scenery. With fields of wheat, small woodlands, remote little farms and some great views, it really is a fantastic section. While the tracks here are fairly easygoing, there are some sections with big, loose gravel and a few deep ruts and potholes, so take care. When you reach the main road at the end, cross over and join the cycle path to Old Sarum ancient hillfort.

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.
