WALKS IN WILTSHIRE at BARBURY CASTLE & OGBOURNE ST GEORGE (4K)

In this episode of my series “Walks in Wiltshire”, I take a 5.5 mile circular-ish walk from the Barbury Castle Country Park which is located about 4 miles South of Swindon. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan. I parked my car, fir free, at the Barbury Castle Country Park car park & immediately took a short detour to the West in order to explore around the amazing Barbury Castle Hillfort. Retracing my steps back to the car park,I passed by the Neil King Racing stables and headed East along a section of The Ridgeway across Smeathe's Ridge. My next destination was the pretty village of Ogbourne St George where I got to visit the enchanting church of St George. After a wander around the village and a look at the River Og, I started on my return journey by following a bridleway up to Burderop Down. There were some stunning views to enjoy at the top of the down, right by the memorial stone to Alfred Williams & Richard Jefferies. The car park was only a few hundred yards on from the memorial stone. Information sources: Wikipedia, British History Online, Vision of Britain & Historic England. Map courtesy of Google Maps.
