Overview

This winter Sunday ramble takes us from Harnham to Broken Bridges and along to Salisbury Racecourse along the Old Shaftesbury Drove. The return is via the Nature Reserve. Hopefully excellent views of open downs. It will be very wet and muddy and the final route may have to change to accomodate conditions underfoot. 

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Joan M 07796098084) 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.
