Exploring and skirting the base of Stoke Camp at this stage but I will be walking around the top  later in other videos after  visiting Westbury Hill Fort and Bronze Age Barrow-------Its always good to have a good recce--discover the boundaries and  any other gates and pathways for future reference.And I did find another gate into Stoke Wood which I definitely will explore on my next visit---before  cows, cattle and ticks emerge......Although as mentioned previously I do intend returning in the Summer months to observe the butterflies etc.....So in this video I am on my way towards the hut on the hill--the old WW11 radar base and the site of the ancient neolithic settlement....Fortunately I do find sheep and not cows-----sheep about to have their lambs...Cows and sheep are grazed here to assist the conservation process of the land which provides  the perfect eco- habitat for the butterflies and other wildlife....the plaques are very informative with explanations as well and images......
