The transmitter tower we can see from around the #avebury / #ridgeway area #wiltshire. It's actually located in the ground of what was #RAF Clyffe Pypard, from here are views looking out over the Ridgeway, Hackpen Hill, Cherhill & Furze Knoll
Clyffe Pypard - as well as being an ancient village situated on the White Horse trail between Broad Town & Cherhill (more of which I shall have to post) This here was a former satellite airfield used in between 1941 - 61. It is now farmland but a few things remain...
a subterranean HQ, 4 Mushroom pillarboxes, a machine gun range, a hanger + more, worth a respectful visit - for more info tinyurl.com/yckm87pw, a brief & interesting video - tinyurl.com/2p96ptju
Furthermore, there's a great ancient track off of the land leading down an ancient path, possibly a drovers road(?) towards Windmill Hill & Avebury
Stunning views up here! Look forward to making to Windmill hill by foot soon, should only take 1.30-2 hours from the RAF base! There's also the White Horse route to Cherhill but I've yet to explore all the way!
Rough track towards Windmill Hill Lovely views all around
Apologies for incorrect grammar, sentences etc😂 with #adhd you check, check, check, "ok it's fine" and then you realise!
