Take a gentle climb to join the Wansdyke, then walk around the hills for spectacular views of the Vale of Pewsey. Walk past the White Horse and descend to the starting point. There is a long, steady climb at the beginning and two stiles at the end. There is a pub at Honeystreet at the bottom of the hill.
Wansdyke is a huge linear earthwork, possibly built soon after the withdrawal of the Romans around 410AD and therefore considerably pre-dating the well-known Anglo-Saxon Offa's Dyke.
