Overview

From the centre of Pewsey, the walk will head towards the Kennet and Avon canal and will follow this for a short while before heading up to Gopher Wood above Huish. This is a short and very steep ascent before we follow the Mid Wilts Way easterly along the ridge then southerly and westerly before descending back to Pewsey. Great views from the ridge. Generally field and woodland paths with some rough chalk paths on the ridge. Map: EX157.

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Phil W 07847490061) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.

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

Assistance dogs only.
