Situated on a high plateau of chalk grassland north west of Marlborough, this former National Nature Reserve has one of the best collection of sarsen stones in Britain.
Fyfield Down is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its biological and geological importance. Numerous footpaths and bridleways crisscross the area which is scattered with sarsens – sometimes called grey wethers as, from a distance, they look like sheep. The Ridgeway National Trail runs along its boundary
