Broad Chalke and Bowerchalke are both very pretty villages. We walk through a water cress farm and past the former home of a prime minister. Just before coffee we climb up a steep hill (the only steep climb of the day, if wet an alternative tarmac route is available). Once at the summit the views are memorable and the rest of the walk is a gentle downhill amble. Lunch is on a bank inside Wiltshire Wildlife Trust`s Middleton Down reserve. Lots of rare chalk down land flowers and butterflies. There are a small number of stiles.
