Walkers Hill is a fantastic place from which to admire the Vale of Pewsey and surrounding downland. On a clear day, the vistas are exceptional, but the hill itself has plenty of interesting historical features.

Adam's Grave is the most notable – a Neolithic long barrow. There are cross dykes (prehistoric earthworks), tumuli and ditches littered about the hillside too, typical of Wiltshire's ancient land. Just to the northwest lies the Alton Barnes white horse, cut in 1812.

Milk Hill 294m, Pewsey Down, Wiltshire (County High Top).

A longish but easy walk over undulating hills to get Milk Hill, the county top for Wiltshire. Thought I would do Tan Hill as well to bag a trig point. Turns out there was no summit marker on Milk Hill or a Trig Point on Tan Hill. Still, a lovely walk and well worth doing. Took Walkers Hill as well which is a great historic tomb.

Route Statistics: Easy undulating trails with minimal ascent really. 9.2km done in 2hrs with 250m of height gain.
