    Taking on the northern area around Stonehenge and then back to the stones themselves!

    The beauty lies in the views across Salisbury Plain and also back towards Durrington on the first section. Some of the walk, fairy straight and a bit uninteresting to be honest, but broken up by a couple of rusting old tanks, the racecourse as there were horses getting exercise and some bronze age barrows and a few long barrows to boot! Take your pick! The best one, that I saw, I have marked on the map (https://ancientmonuments.uk/108267-knighton-long-barrow-figheldean).

    Robin Hood's Ball, a causewayed enclosure (https://ancientmonuments.uk/107808-robin-hoods-ball-causewayed-enclosure-shrewton) was what I really wanted to get a close look at, but sadly there was no access to the field and barely anything to really tell it was even there!

    Can't complain about the second half of the walk though. The Cursus, Stonehenge, The Avenue, The King's barrow's, Durrington Walls and Woodhenge - what's not to love!

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
