Overview

This is a walk that has kindly been shared with us by Bath Ramblers Group.  

A beautiful airy walk from Longbridge Deverill, (near Warminster), which takes us through several pretty villages, and offers excellent views from the Wiltshire Downs. 

There are a couple of ascents, one of which is quite steep but short, and a couple of gentle descents.
