Information updated for September as a COVID-safe event
Learn more about the objects and people from the time of Stonehenge and the landscape they inhabited with guided walk from Durrington Walls to Stonehenge.
This half-day tour is led by Museum Director, David Dawson. We will meet close to the Stonehenge Inn at Durrington at 1.30pm for the start of our walk. You may wish to have lunch at the Stonehenge Inn before we meet. You will receive full details of the meeting point by email shortly before the event.
The walk will take approximately 4.5 hours. We will walk through Durrington Walls and find out about Woodhenge, excavated by Maud Cunnington, who was once President of our Society. The route passes the Cuckoo Stone, a megalithic standing stone, before following the Apple Track – a WW1 light railway. The route then passes the prehistoric Cursus, before passing the Bronze Age barrows of Kings Barrow ridge and on to Stonehenge. There is an option (we will decide on the day) to hear about the WW1 Stonehenge airfield and to go to the western end of the Cursus. We will then return to Durrington and our cars by walking alongside the Cursus. The walk does not include a visit to the monument itself. Please contact us for more information. .
