バルフォード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。

Collingbourne woods is nowhere near this point, I rode all the way from Shrewton to check this out and then found out Collingbourne woods is miles away from here.

Collingbourne Wood doesn't have a lot of trails in fact it's only got one, but it's a still a ice place to go for a pedal about and the trail thats there is good. Look out for wooden shelter for the start.

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.

gravel road out of shipton

Just a great place to stop and take in the view.
