Ha!Ha! I was thinking more of parking at Strangways and walking down the footpath along King Barrow Ridge - then you can pick up The Avenue or the Cursus and walk about, usually in splendid isolation. I think the By Way is to be closed to vehicles - although the trailbikers are claiming it is their inalienable right from time immemorial to roar up and down it! I agree about the people with their cameras and on this day of the year (and tomorrow) the whole area for miles is infested with people wandering the (very busy) roads. I'm always surprised at the number walking up/down the main Salisbury-Devizes road when they could walk up or down the Avon Valley - though even that is not exactly car-free.
