Butlers Cottage is 17th century in whitewashed sarsen with a thatched roof. There are some later rear extensions. Another view of the cottage is at Image Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1365947 The walk follows footpaths to Beckhampton and then a byway to Allington Down. A short stretch along Wansdyke before a bridleway and later a byway lead back to West Kennet. A footpath, part of the White Horse Trail, runs around Silbury Hill and back to the start. Just over 7½ miles.
