チャップマンズレードのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

存在を知りませんでした、嬉しいサプライズでした

Shear Water is an artificial lake created as part of the Longleat Estate. It's filled by a tributary of the River Wylye. It's a popular fishing destination.

This has been a publicly accessible unadopted lane for decades, used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Watch out for dog poo 💩😑

Very fast downhill that opens up into a wide trail, then narrows again, beware the lower sections rough chalk steps! Just after the trail narrows there is one more step section and then it's a fast ride to the lane. Take care as dog walkers use this bridleway frequently.

A good days walk over 3 hillforts - and a pub at either end!

The Mid Wilts Way is a long distance trail which runs for 109 km between Ham and Mere. This section runs along the edges of fields with the Longleat forest to the south and Cley Hill to the west.

Cley Hill stands proud of the surrounding flatlands at 244 m high. There is a trig point, awesome views and steep sided trails to run. It's an important area of chalk downland managed by the National Trust for the plants and insects which live here. Cley Hill is also famous for UFO sightings and crop circles, so keep an eye out :-)

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.
