Warning: Danger From Unexploded Shells and Mortar Bombs

Highlight • Structure

There is a large military training area north of Stonehenge. Comes also suggests paths that lead through this area. However, you can't always drive through here. Watch out for the red flags. If these hurt, then you have to choose another path.

Redhorn Vedette Post

Highlight • Monument

Aside from the staggering views, one of the most fascinating things about hiking on Salisbury Plain is the military influence on the area. An active military training area with public rights of way, you'll often come across oddities and fascinating sites.

Redhorn vedette post is a sentry post with an information board and bollards from from shell casings, which is certainly an interesting kind of upcycling.

Salisbury Plain Perimeter Path

Highlight • Trail

Enjoyable riding with glorious, far-reaching views. Hard work in a headwind. Do not access the byways when the red flags are flying and the danger signs ('live firing' or 'no public entry') are displayed.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fine to ride in the summer but a bit boggy in the winter. A number of bricks have been put in place inside the trail line which help to make it a little more ridable.
