All sections Next: Ogbourne>East Hendred Down Previous: Stonehenge>Avebury
In my last ride along the KAW, I reached Avebury. Today, I tackled Avebury to Ogbourne St George. Here's a map of my circuit.
I parked in the visitor car park at Avebury (free to NT members), and cycled along the KAW, climbing to the Ridgeway, passing through Barbury Castle hill fort, and descending to Ogbourne St George. I returned via the NCN482 disused railway path via Marlborough, and country lanes via West Overton. 22 miles in total. It was a cool, dry, overcast day, good for cycling, but not quite so for photos!
