TAILOR-MADE TO SUIT YOU

 

 

 

Walk 2

Walk 3

We have a wide range of walks available to you, some of which we have devised ourselves, and some from various websites, magazines and books. There are plenty of walks to suit everyone but if you have a specific request, we will tailor walks to your requirements. You can walk from here, drive to a nearby start point (the vast majority of the walks are circular) or take a bus. There is a bus stop half a mile down the road or just over a mile along footpaths in Devizes itself for more choice of locations. On this page you will find some examples of our shorter walks.

Walk 1

Walk 3

Walk 1: Edington

This 5 mile walk is taken from the Visit Wiltshire website. Although short, it can be extended. In fact it is very close to the village walk below (walk 3) so you could walk one in the morning, have a pub lunch and walk the other in the afternoon. Or I could add a section to combine the two for you. There are some fantastic views on this walk - even in the October rain (see photos above). There is also a beautiful deer park and Edington Priory Church is well worth a visit.

 

Walk 2: Calstone Coombes, Oldbury Castle, Cherhill White Horse and the Lansdowne Monument.

There are several options for this walk. There’s a car park a 10 minute drive from here or you can start & finish from Southdown, which adds anything from 6 miles. The walk shown here is 6½ miles long and features some fairly steep hills, but is well worth the effort for the stunning views and potential to see lots of wildlife. Above you can see some photos taken on this walk in September 2009.

 

 

Walk 3: Keevil, Steeple Ashton & Bulkington: villages and churches

The walk between the villages is part of the White Horse Trail but you can also include them in this figure of 8 walk of just under 7 miles. Bulkington is a 6 mile drive or bus journey from Southdown so a longer walk is feasible. On this walk you will see lovely village buildings and churches and there’s also a pub (soon to be another) and an airfield where you may be lucky to see some gliders as we did on our walk in September 2009.
