Wansdyke Part 1: Strange Things in West Woods 

The Wansdyke is a linear earthwork, probably about 1500 years old. The Wansdyke Path follows the Wiltshire section of the dyke. It's walk along a ditch essentially, but it's a very evocative ditch which passes through some great countryside, including, on this section of the walk, West Woods, believed to be the source of the sarsen stones used to build Stonehenge.
I took a couple of detours, to find a standing stone and a long barrow in West Woods, and to walk a section of the Wansdyke which, for some reason, the Wansdyke Path avoids.
