クランガーウッドでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

This is another section of the Wessex Ridgeway that gives you amazing views of and over Westbury town, A nice bridleway that is more like singletrack, its fast in warmer months, a bit lumpy in the winter, leads onto the magical avenue of beech trees. Its nice to use this section as an interesting diversion if you are cycling the Imber Range Perimeter Path.

An awesome place to visit anytime of year, a really nice vibe. Many names carved into the trees and some of them are very old.

The legendary Chalky Steps, fast and steppie, slick when it's muddy.

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

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

The oldest of the Wiltshire white horses this was originally cut in 1772 and restored in 1778. There was evidence of an older horse here facing the other way, but no strong evidence suggests how old that was. In 1872/1873 the horse was considered to be losing its shape, it was re cut and edging stones added. In 1957 the horse was concreted to preserve it. For the runner the trails around the top of the horse are great fun and the 33-mile Imber trail also passes here. There are nice loops from the car park above the horse or from nearby Westbury.

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.

There are over 1,200 hillforts in England, most of which occupy fantastic viewpoints and Bratton Camp hillfort is no different. In fact, it has a truly extraordinary vistas from its earthen ramparts. The camp sits just on the ridge between Westbury and Bratton, and immediately above the Westbury White Horse. There's a long barrow within the castle's fortifications estimated to be around 5,000 years old.

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.

Great parking on top of the hill with fabulous views all around. The ice cream van is also very welcome when it’s hot. The paths are well-maintained with several routes to follow. Bratton hillfort is well worth a wander around too.

Fantastic views and worth the pain getting to the top of the hill!

Entrance can be muddy in winter.

Westbury White Horse was originally cut in the late 1600s and is the oldest white horse in Wiltshire. From this spot, you are afforded lovely views.

Bratton Camp was originally an Iron Age hill fort built over 2,000 years ago to defend the settlement from its enemies. Today the hill's most defining feature is the striking white horse cut into its slopes. Records suggest that the horse was made at the end of the 17th century to commemorate the Battle of Ethandun. Despite its turbulent past, Bratton Camp is now a relaxing place to take a stroll. The chalk grassland is teeming with wildlife and insects. Look out for the rare Adonis Blue butterfly which can be found here. You can visit any time during daylight hours. Entrance is free.

Accessible from both sides with varying climbs (both horrible 😭), both give a great workout or the start of a long gravel ride. Also a bonus - On a good day there’ll be an ice cream van on top.

It hurts, great for training

Great views of the (seemingly) flat Wiltshire and Somerset countryside.

Great road which skirts army training area. Ok for road bikes if you’re careful for pot holes
