チョールダートンのおすすめランニングルート

ブルフォードキウイは、イングランド、ウィルトシャー州、ソールズベリー平原の軍事都市ブルフォードの上にあるビーコンヒルに、チョークで刻まれたキウイの大きな姿です。これは、第一次世界大戦の終結後の送還を待っていたニュージーランド派遣軍の兵士たちによって1919年に作成されました。 これは、ウィルトシャー州にある数少ない丘の図形のうち、白馬でも軍のバッジでもないものです。

Old bridge Some fallen trees near by to have a picnic or quick stop about halfway point along the Portway

Nice track that goes from Palestine to outside Salisbury. Has many routes you can take off from the track to get to the likes of Boscombe Down/Amesbury etc. Rides nice all year round. Fantastic sunset to be seen along here to once out of the trees and into the fields. Great spot of you like trains too.

The Portway (or Port Way) is an ancient road that once ran between Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester, in modern-day Hampshire) and Sorbiodunum (Old Sarum, Wiltshire). Though often credited to the Romans, the original route may have pre-dated Roman occupation.

Standing on top of Bulford Down, you can look north over miles of military firing ranges. You might see tanks lumbering about in the distance or perhaps the landscape will be shrouded in quiet. The Bulford chalk kiwi carving lies just west of here.

This charming and little-known chalk hill carving was crafted by New Zealand soldiers in 1919, whilst waiting for transport to take them home after the First World War. For months they were trapped in Bulford Camp, which lies just below the kiwi's hill, as transport ships were unavailable. To alleviate the increasing unrest in the camp, the men's commanding officers set them about carving a giant kiwi into the chalk hillside, leaving their mark. The kiwi covers 1.5 acres (6,100 m sq) and is hard to see, as the military camp takes up much of the land below the hill. There is a good viewing point from the Bulford Droveway whilst you'll find an information board here, at the top of the kiwi's head.

Dating back to the 12th century, this simple yet impressive church sits on the edge of Bulford, near the River Avon. The south tower was built in the 13th century and the entire building remains in excellent condition. The church is an important part of this small community and holds many events and local meetings throughout the year.
