From Barbury Castle the route offers glimpses of the Ridgeway heading east and then enters dramatic downland country before finally heading west. A slow ascent to the ancient Ridgeway track at Hackpen. The Hackpen White horse. Return to Barbury Castle on the Ridgeway, the full glory of this iron age earthwork showing in late afternoon sun if you are lucky!
The route is planned to be taken clockwise after having walked through Barbury Castle.
