Lockeridge Dene and Piggledene

Reviewed By Malibu_Jenny - Reading, United Kingdom

Lockeridge Dene is an unusual and quiet spot just off the A4. It’s well worth a stop off if you’re passing and have any interest in history or geology. There is road site parking next to the gate, though the site itself wouldn’t be suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. In summer, there are cattle grazing here, but in winter the fenced field is empty and you can follow the former riverbed full of tall grasses and enjoy the magic of the stones against a backdrop of thatched cottages and misty hillside. The sarsen stones are 30 million years old and are the building material used for Stonehenge and Avebury. There’s no admission charge or facilities here (though there are nearby pubs), just beautiful, unspoilt countryside.
