The Devenish is a reserve managed by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. It's a lovely area of young woodland, mature beech woodland, chalk downland and meadow. Early summer is when the reserve is at its most vibrant, as the wildflowers are at their best. Birders will enjoy the song of green warblers and blackcaps, while you may spot a buzzard or two circling in the skies overhead.

We had to cut off part of the route as it was too bogey.

The Devenish is a reserve managed by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. It's a lovely area of young woodland, mature beech woodland, chalk downland and meadow. Early summer is when the reserve is at its most vibrant, as the wildflowers are at their best. A run to the top of the steep downland slope provides glorious views of the Woodford Valley.
