Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές και πεζοπορίες Fyfield

Το Bulford Kiwi είναι μια μεγάλη απεικόνιση ενός κίβι, σκαλισμένη στον κιμωλίαλο λόφο Beacon Hill, πάνω από τη στρατιωτική πόλη Bulford, στην πεδιάδα Salisbury Plain του Wiltshire της Αγγλίας. Δημιουργήθηκε το 1919 από στρατιώτες της Νέας Ζηλανδικής Εκστρατευτικής Δύναμης που περίμεναν την επαναπατρισμό τους μετά το τέλος του Πρώτου Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου. Είναι μία από τις λίγες φιγούρες λόφων στο Wiltshire που δεν είναι ούτε λευκό άλογο ούτε στρατιωτικό σήμα.

Collingbourne Wood is a beautiful ancient woodland located to the south of Savernake Forest in Wiltshire. The woodland is made up of mostly beech trees, and there are a network of pretty trails that leads you around the whole forest.

Coldridge Wood is part of the larger Collingbourne Wood, located near Ludgershall. It's a wonderful place for a stroll and to get some fresh air in nature, make sure to look out for the well-known Yew Tree that stands on a hilltop just above the parish boundary.

Looked after by English Heritage but free to enter, Ludgershall Castle probably began construction in the late 11th century and was improved in the 13th century by King John and his son Henry III, when it was used as a hunting lodge. Today, the atmospheric ruins comprise three large walls and extensive earthworks. Also worth seeing is the 14th-century cross nearby in the centre of Ludgershall village.

Standing on top of Bulford Down, you can look north over miles of military firing ranges. You might see tanks lumbering about in the distance or perhaps the landscape will be shrouded in quiet. The Bulford chalk kiwi carving lies just west of here.

This charming and little-known chalk hill carving was crafted by New Zealand soldiers in 1919, whilst waiting for transport to take them home after the First World War. For months they were trapped in Bulford Camp, which lies just below the kiwi's hill, as transport ships were unavailable. To alleviate the increasing unrest in the camp, the men's commanding officers set them about carving a giant kiwi into the chalk hillside, leaving their mark. The kiwi covers 1.5 acres (6,100 m sq) and is hard to see, as the military camp takes up much of the land below the hill. There is a good viewing point from the Bulford Droveway whilst you'll find an information board here, at the top of the kiwi's head.

The creepy teepee, and the start of the gully run lovely flowing trail..credit to whoever built it.
