The Wayfarer's Walk is a 70-71 mile (113-114 km) long-distance footpath in England, running from the highest chalk downland to the coast.

Here are the key details, which clarify its route regarding Wiltshire:

Overall Route: It stretches from Inkpen Beacon (near the border of Berkshire/Hampshire) in the north, southwards to Emsworth Harbour on the south coast of Hampshire.

Wiltshire Connection: The trail is primarily located within Hampshire and starts just over the border in West Berkshire. It does not pass through the main body of Wiltshire.

Highlights: The walk follows ancient drovers' tracks and includes spectacular scenery over the North Wessex Downs, passing notable sites like:

Walbury Hill (England's highest chalk hill)

Watership Down

Ladle Hill (the fort you asked about previously)

Views of Highclere Castle

The Meon Valley

The path is well-marked with a distinctive "WW" waymarker.
