Overview

The Chalk Valley is a lovely area of chalk downland which surrounds the valley of the river Ebble, providing wonderful views of the entire region. We walk to the south of our meeting place towards Vernditch Chase and Martin Down Nature Reserve, from where we turn back returning to Broad Chalke via Marleycombe Hill and Bowerchalke. 

Please text the walk leader, Ruth C 07548116043 to let her know that you will be joining the walk. This walk will be joint with West Wilts, many thanks to Ruth. Please bring lunch.
