As the path ascends Strawberry Hill, the views open out. The buildings of Dauntsey's School are in the middle distance. On the skyline at the left edge of the image is the distinctive clump of trees of Oliver's Castle an Iron Age hillfort. Just right of centre can be seen the white horse on Roundway Hill above Devizes, almost 7 miles distant. From West Lavington the walk follows the Wessex Ridgeway long distance path up to Littleton Down on Salisbury Plain. Then along the Imber Range Perimeter Path before descending via a byway and a bridleway to the start. About 5½ miles.
