Where and When Back to top Up

We camped a few miles south of Marlborough, in an area which is quite close to Salisbury Plain. The area has many famous ancient monuments, not least of which are Stonehenge and the Stone Circle at Avebury. There is lots of wide, open countryside around, quite different from the busy and well inhabited areas in which we have camped before.

The map reference is 185 619

Here is a link to a map with a red circle centered just south of the campsite

The Camp was from Monday 3rd August to Saturday 8th August.
