It's been thirty years since Stonehenge and the Avebury stone circle were both established as World Heritage sites. To celebrate, visitors are being set the challenge of walking eight routes across both sites, amounting to a distance of fifty kilometres.

Some of the walks follow ancient routes just as people would have done 4,000 years ago, leading up the avenue towards Stonehenge, or processing along West Kennet Avenue into Avebury.
