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.

View of Stonehenge

Highlight • Historical Site

From this spot, you can see Stonehenge standing proudly in the distance. As soon as I saw it, though, I knew I had to get closer. Keep riding along this track and take the path right and you can get as close to this Neolithic monument as the paying tourists do.
