This is one of those deserted places with a startling piece of ancient history. A remarkable place to visit. The cap stone is enormous - I read somewhere that it is 17 tonnes - and somewhat extraordinary nested in a valley which is fairly remote from other places. If you want a special experience with stones, this is it. I walked up the steep hill from Fyfield and then back down to the Den, and then walked back along the flat (shorter distance) to the A4 a little further East towards Marlborough (SU 156 688). This is the easiest route but you’ll need wellies after heavy rain because it was flooded for a short distance.

Ignore the Postern Hill car park (busy) and head for Grand Avenue (signposted off A4 leaving Marlborough to the East at the top of the hill just past the hospital). There are so many footpaths from well surfaced through well trodden to rarely used. Try to visit the Saddle Oaks and Spider Oak at least (nearly 1,000 years old). The monument to George III is worth a short stop. There is a lovely Arboretum half way down the avenue on the right with small clumps of mainly pine varieties including Redwoods. If you visit in September/October, watch out for numerous pheasants and deer. Green woodpeckers can be seen if you're lucky. You can always find space away from other walkers. We use maps.me to find the paths and it hasn't let us down.

I love Marlborough and the High Street is quaint yet functional with a great mix of quirky and useful shops, and lots of places to eat and drink.

Beauty Full - Time is a one of a kind discounted Make up, Fragrance, Skincare and Gift shop located on Marlborough high street. We stock a wide range of premium and high street products across all ranges and are constantly sourcing new products. Our knowledgeable staff will be more than happy to provide you with a personal service so you can receive products tailored to your individual needs.
I've used Beauty Full Time a few times after it was recommended by a friend, this place is amazing Megan and her team are so helpful, always very knowledgable on their products, and the service I've recieved has always been amazing. I cant recommend this place enough, the products are reasonably priced for all the big names such as bare minerals, clarins etc, you would find them cheaper any where else, as someone has said on here it really is a hidden gem.

** The Cafe in the Church will be closed until the 17th May. Access to the church will be limited to Cafe customers only. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. ** Beautiful example of 15th-century church architecture with Victorian restoration. Full programme of activities run by local organisations, and community information centre. Space to hire for concerts, meetings and lectures. Tower tours available most Saturdays from Easter to early-October, and otherwise by appointment, as are guided tours of the church. All managed by a charitable Trust supported by the financial generosity and voluntary efforts of many friends
Attended a concert by the Magnificent AKs, a male voice choir, the building has excellent acoustics and is a great venue for events like this. It's been run by a Trust for 40+ years and I have to say it is beautifully kept - rather better than some of the local in-use churches! Well worth a wander round (30p for a short guide). Cake and coffee (untried) is available
