Route - (Select Satellite view)

Start at Roundway Hill - SU 014 641

There is a Parking Place here, at the top of the Hill.

Run along the pathway. Soon the track bears slightly left. At the end of this field you will encounter a path crossing at 90 degrees (the Wessex Ridgeway - although this is no longer sign posted). Do not continue straight on but turn right here.

If you were to continue along this track you would soon reach the North Wilts Golf Club. You would have gone wrong - GO BACK!

Follow the path across two fields until you come to the road. This is the Wansdyke Path. There should be a Marshal here to direct you across the road. Continue along this pathway, keeping to the right hand track. Soon you will reach some trees/bushes. Keep straight on past three more fields on your left. At the end of the third field turn left and follow the footpath. There are five white pyramid shaped bollards here (shown by a red arrow on the Google map) , and the path ahead follows a line of trees (shown by a yellow arrow on the Google map). You are no more than 150 metres from the A361 at this point.

At the end of the trees beside the track, continue across where you once again join the White Horse Trail and the Wessex Ridgeway which bear slightly right. You will start to climb and should soon see the monument at the top of the hill. The finish is at the monument.

The White Horse is visible a bit further to your right.
