アルダーベリーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This section of the path crosses Trafalgar Park’s vista of the River Avon and beyond it Charlton All Saints. As you might imagine with a name like Trafalgar the estate has connections with Admiral Horatio Nelson.  Following Horatio’s death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 his brother Rev William Nelson was created 1st Earl Nelson and apparently lobbied Parliament for an estate in recognition of his brother’s service to the nation.  Standlynch Park was the location chosen by the Treasury and it was renamed Trafalger Park.  Descendants of Horatio Nelson lived here until 1948 when it was sold by the 5th Earl Nelson.

visit St Mary's church, georgian

An ornate memorial and water trough to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII and in appreciation of the Earl of Radnor for providing the water supply.

Saddened to observe today that the churchyard has now been robustly padlocked too.

The Moot boasts the remains of an 11th-century motte and bailey castle, the earthworks of which can still be explored today. The impressive Moot House was built in the 17th century and was host to an earthen amphitheatre where many plays, particularly Shakespeare's, were performed. It all makes for an interesting detour when running along the Avon Valley Path.

Great views towards Salisbury and just across the A36 is Pepperbox Hill

Nice track along the top of the ridge from Lockerley past Dean to Pepperbox Hill. Great views towards Salisbury and spectacular sunsets from there

Great views on a nice day. You can catch fantastic sunsets from here. Careful crossing the A36 if continuing on the bridle way across from Pepperbox Hill
