Overview

This Sunday Ramble will start from The Bull Hotel in Downton from where we will head over towards Wick Down, picking up Charford Grove onto Coombe Bissett and Homington Down before joining The Avon Valley Path back into Salisbury. There are various options for transport: catch the X3 bus from Salisbury Railway Station at 08.50; Blue Boar Row at 09.00; outside Britford P&R (where you can leave a car for free) at 09.07. You may choose to finish the walk at Britford P&R or continue to Salisbury Cathedral where we are likely to have tea and cake. 

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Jane O 07867865601) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

There will be two stops during the day for coffee and lunch (please bring a picnic)
