Interesting memorial of the Great War

A steep hill up from each of the three routes, but great views to enjoy once you're up.

Battlesbury Hill has a trig point at 208 m. It's ringed by the earthworks of the old Iron Age hill fort which once crowned this hill. Today it's one of the hills at the western end of the Salisbury Plain and the Imber Range.

White Barrow is a Neolithic long barrow, its name deriving from the chalk plain upon which it is built. First described by archaeologist William Cunnington, it is one of a number of long barrows in the area and is today looked after by the National Trust. The calcerous chalk grassland here is home to many wildflowers, butterflies and other insects, incuding rare bees only found in a few sites in Britain.

Located on both the Imber Range path and Wessex Ridgeway, this former quarry isn't accessible to the public but there are good views from the path. The chalk pit has been used as a location for TV and film. Overall this is a lovely area for trail running with well-maintained paths across calcerous grassland - great for spotting wildflowers and butterflies over the summer months and murmurating starlings in autumn.

For the best views of the Westbury White horse you need to leave your bike or push it about 100m across the grass to the escarpment.

Upton Cow Down is a 16.4 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest on the western edge of Salisbury Plain and overlooking the village of Upton Scudamore. The down is an area of chalk grassland, covered in wildflowers and pollinators over the summer months.

The quarry is on the Imber Range path and also Wessex Ridgeway path from Westbury towards Warminster. You can't get in to explore but can get some good views of the quarry from the path - vegetation permitting. This quarry has been used as a location for TV and film - the latest a Tom Cruise film. Overall this is a lovely area to walk in with well-maintained paths. If you need an easy walk, you can use the large car park at the White Horse/Bratton hill fort and then the path is on the level and with a good surface.
