Good climb, was across fields but fine today as they’ve been harvested. Might have been tricky earlier in the year

Outstanding views and the perfect place for a midride picnic or chill.

A must do off road tour

Amazing views of the hills. If your lucky you can see the gliders circling above from the Wing Farm Airfield

an absolutely beautiful halfway point to sit and have a snack or two. the views are breathtaking.

Cold Kitchen Hill has a trig point at 257 m. Alfred's Tower at Stourhead is visible, as well as vast swathes of Wiltshire and the West Country.

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 :-)

Set amidst classic Wiltshire countryside of rolling chalk downland dotted with ancient remnants of human habitation, Cold Kitchen Hill rises above the Deverills - a series of villages set along the valley of the River Deverill. Head for the trig point at the top.

The Iron Age hillfort at Bratton Camp was first carved into the chalk downland over 2000 years ago. The earthworks would have protected a settlement of round houses, granaries, storehouses and workshops. Its strategic position would have afforded residents a far-reaching view and advance warning of any potential attackers. But Bratton's human history stretches back even further than the Iron Age. Three thousand years earlier, a Neolithic long barrow existed here, and 19th century excavations unearthed human skeletons and evidence of cremations. Today, this area of chalk grassland is rich in wildlife, including many important plants that provide a habitat for insects, including the rare Adonis Blue butterfly and the scarce forester moth. Visible from many miles around, Westbury White Horse, which lies just below Bratton Camp, was probably originally cut in the late 1600s to commemorate the Battle of Ethandun, which is thought to have taken place at Bratton Camp in AD 878.

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.

A fun section. Quite exposed and not loads of grip on a gravel bike in December, but I liked it!

wow you won't be disappointed with the views that reward your climb effort...unless it's foggy

Middle Hill, nicknamed locally as ‘piggy in the middle’, is a conical chalk hill that stands between Battlesbury Hill to the northwest and Scratchbury to the southeast. This row of hills is on the southwestern edge of Salisbury Plain overlooks the Wylye valley. Atop the hill you find an ancient and sizable bowl barrow.

Great short walk for all the family. Amazing views of Somerset and Wiltshire.
