Between Avebury in Wiltshire and Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire, it winds, undemandingly, for 87 miles along a trail of two halves, with the Thames providing its midpoint. The wide-open spaces of the North Wessex Downs, rich in prehistoric treasures and soul-cleansing views, contrast with the cosier landscapes of the more populated, more wooded Chilterns to the east.
