The Wansdyke & District Forums

Hello from the cut! Dawn and Clive here, hired a boat out of Devizes and weve worked our way up to Honeystreet for a few days, what a part of the world. Photos to follow when the signal behaves. Climbed up to the white horse and the crop circle field yesterday, had the Barge in the evening (did not see Florrie, slightly disappointed). Any must-sees within walking distance of the moorings before we turn back? Loving this forum, found it looking up the local ghost stories, funnily enough.

Welcome to the pound, Dawn and Clive. Walk up to the long barrow at West Kennet if you have the legs, twenty minutes off the towpath and worth every step, and the Sanctuary above it. Take the lane, not the main road. And if it is clear, walk back along the cut at dusk: the herons fish the last light and it is the best free show in the county. Mind the dip past the bridge if you cycle, it floods.

perfect thank you Pat, thats tomorrow sorted. herons at dusk it is. this is the life, why does anyone live on land.
