There is something 'pilgrim' like about walking the sections of the Ridgeway which culminate near Avebury. For people who may not be up to or inclined to do the entire length there are options to walk from Barbury Castle or, alternatively, up the White Horse Trail from Broad Hinton to walk the final section (there is a good bus service to Broad Hinton).

Good luck with it!

Not to mention Wayland's Smithy.

Thank you for your thoughts...

I agree there is a need to make the walk "sectionable" I am involved with the development of The Great Stones Way and we have talked about making Barbury a start point for that walk C/O the the existing infrastructure strains on Avebury... But yes walking the oldest road has a strong Pilgrim feel to it for me...
