Overview

This hilly walk takes us out of Pewsey along the Pewsey Avon Trail to Manningford  Abbots. Here we join the White Horse Trail and begin the long uphill ascent over fields to Pewsey Hill, where we will be below the Pewsey White Horse. We then climb quite steeply to the top of the ridge, where we should get some wonderful views over Pewsey Vale from Milton Hill Clump (if the weather is kind to us). We then start our steep descent down and into Milton Lilbourne and eventually reaching Pewsey again.
