Overview

Please meet outside the Bouvarie Hall in Pewsey for a 10am start. This 11 mile undulating walk takes us out along the Pewsey Avon Trail to East Sharcott then looping round Manningfold Abbots to join the White Horse Trail. We steadily climb up towards Pewsey Hill passing below the White Horse (you can take the opportunity to visit if wished). From here we use open access land to climb up to the escarpment where we should get stunning 360 views weather permitting. From Milton Hill Clump we descend towards Milton Lilboune then Fyfield and back into Pewsey. There is one steep ascent and descent. The walk is mainly in the open on good tracks and paths but there are a few overgrown but easily passable places.

Be aware of the prevailing weather as there is very little shelter on this walk
