Figsbury Ring Car Park
This County Council owned car parking area provides access to the adjacent site known as Figsbury Ring, which is owned and managed by the National Trust.
Figsbury Ring is well worth a visit. From the car park you walk out onto this intriguing monument to find superb panoramic views across Wiltshire. There is slight confusion as to whether this is the site of a hill fort or a henge because unlike other hill forts Figsbury has an inner ditch, a characteristic common to henges. Aside from its designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) it is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its rich chalk downland flora and fauna, including a population of the adonis blue butterfly.
Location:The site is located off the A30 north east of Salisbury at the top of a privately owned track that might not be suitable for all vehicles.
Grid reference:SU 184 338
Parking:There is ample parking at the site
Toilets:There are no public toilet facilities local to the site.
