The Wessex Ridgeway Trail follows a brilliant gravel track from the Wylye valley up to the Great Ridge. It's easy and fun traffic free running.

Knook Horse Hill stands at 178 m to the south-east of the Imber Range. It's a good climb up from the River Wylye and makes a nice loop from Heytesbury.

he parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul was founded in the late 11th century. It was given to Salisbury Cathedral c.1115 by Henry I to form part of a living. The value of this church was soon increased by other gifts of property, and within a few years there were canons at Heytesbury. By c.1160 it was established as a collegiate church with a dean and four prebendaries, two each of priests and deacons. A collegiate church was effectively a 'mother church' with resident priests whose task it was to go out into the wider community as missionaries, with the aim of encouraging new 'daughter churches'. In the 13th century the holder of the deanery became, and remained, the Dean of Salisbury. The college at Heytesbury and its property belonged to him. Most parishes came under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Diocese, but Heytesbury belonged to the Dean and was therefore known as a peculiar. The Cathedrals Act of 1840 dissolved the college and abolished the prebends. The church itself is described by Pevsner as 'a large and impressive church, but an over-restored one'. The external view is dominated by its low, massive and square Norman tower in the centre. Most of the building dates from the late 12th, the 13th and the 15th centuries.

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.

Run past the farm house & just follow the route. Slight cut at end, but a great path to run/walk.

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.
