best on a mountain bike

Yeah unless you're a sicker for punishment this is proper gravel and should be ridden on 40mm+ tyres for best enjoyment. Some pretty steep inclines, it's not a flat ridgeway.

Enjoy a pleasant ride along flat, paved, and scenic back roads near the village of Bulkington. I'd recommend a visit to the nearby Well Inn pub.

This has been marked as a bridleway by Wiltshire Council, but its not included on the OS map, council cleared it after making a request, it nice to ride now 👍🏻

With 29 locks in a flight over a distance of 3.2 kilometres (2 miles) and a rise of 72 metres (237 feet) . The first lock at Foxhangers Wharf and the last lock in Devizes town.

This route takes you on busy main roads. Terrible. Yes it goes past a fraction of the old route but it doesn’t actually take you on it. Says you are off course if you go on it!

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

Busy locks! Bit of a f*cker if your flow gets interrupted - but always make sure pedestrians are primary user! Pretty to look at!

The Caen Hill Locks are one of the highlights of Route 4 on the Avon K Canal. Physically this is interesting. The water flows down the mountain, but the ship floats up the mountain lock by lock due to its own buoyancy.

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.

Upton Cow Down is a 16.4 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest on the western edge of Salisbury Plain and overlooking the village of Upton Scudamore. The down is an area of chalk grassland, covered in wildflowers and pollinators over the summer months.

Nice gentle ride up by the flight of locks.

Link up between Gorecross and the Imber path

Nice little 1km 3.6% climb to test the legs

Fine to ride in the summer but a bit boggy in the winter. A number of bricks have been put in place inside the trail line which help to make it a little more ridable.

The lion monument at the base of Etchilhampton Hill (Monument Hill) was erected in 1771 and is a local landmark. It was made in honour of James Long of Wedhampton, whose family crest was the lion. He saw to the construction of a new road from Nursteed to Lydeway, avoiding the old road which had a very steep gradient and was tedious and dangerous for horses and travellers, and often used by highwaymen. The sound of a ghostly coach and horses have been heard nearby but never seen. Crop circles have been formed on the hill here. The lion, on a stone plinth has an unusual iron tail, and until they fell off - wooden forepaws. These were replaced An apprentice was sent to start work on restoring the lion and found an elder tree growing from one of the lions joints. He was about to remove it when a group of gypsies passed by and told him not to. A family whose son had gone off to the first world war had placed a seed on the lion, convinced that if the tree grew, their son would return home safe. Legend says when the clock of St.James church in Devizes strikes midnight, the lion goes to a farm pond in Stert to drink. It is also said that the lion stands at the corner of Tinkfield Farm and this field was the meeting place of the 'Stodfald Hundred' and the lion is there on guard.
