Wansdyke
Date Added: 1st May 2011
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3

Wansdyke submitted by Thorgrim on 9th Jun 2005. Section of the Wansdyke where it crosses the road between Fyfield and Alton Priors. Wansdyke stretches for 45 miles from Bristol to Marlborough and can be walked for much of the way. As it is still quite high, it is free from 4x4 off road vandalism and can be a much pleasanter walk than the unfortunate and much abused Ridgeway.
