11+ Woolbury - Bronze Age to Space Age

This is a circular walk exploring the Test Valley and the downs above.

We start on Stockbridge Down, an area that has been occupied and extensively farmed since the Bronze Age. Walking past earthworks and barrows, we move forward in time and space to Iron Age Woolbury Hillfort. We then descend to the Test Valley across Leckford Golf Course for our coffee stop in Longstock. From there we head North to Fullerton and then on to West Down for our lunch stop. On our return to Stockbridge Down we leap forward in time and into space, passing close by the Chilbolton Observatory with its Advanced Meteorological Radar, the largest fully steerable meteorological radar in the world.
