Looking for inspiration my walking buddy and neighbour Stu mentioned a walk he’d seen in Country Walking Magazine. The starting point was the village of Giddeahall, a place neither of us had heard of. Having studied the map we knew exactly where it was but neither of us could remember seeing a village, despite having driven past many times. We recalled seeing a pub at the side of the A420 west of Chippenham but nothing else. Intrigued we set off on a bright, fresh September m

North Bradley is a village I know well. My sons went to the primary school there. For some years we attended the Baptist Church as a...

I’ve long wanted to do a walk in this area as it’s somewhere I used to cycle a lot. Our bike club would often ride up the long climb through Gare Hill and a hush would descend on the group, not just because we were struggling for breath, but because it always felt slightly eerie – there never seemed to be any birdsong. The countryside here is quite different to much of the rest of Wiltshire. No big open skies but deep valleys and forest.

We revisit to Stourhead and the mysterious Selwood Triangle in order to find a lost byway and a location of where a miracle took place.

An escapist quest to walk along the length of the Shire Rack the ancient boundary that exists between Wiltshire and Dorset. A mystical area of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape where creatures and heroes of myths and legends must surely still exist.

A border walk investigating the possibility of visiting Scotland in Wiltshire and a love triangle that put a tomb in an unexpected place

This is another route right on the extremes of the county. It is mostly in Wiltshire apart from a short section in Somerset.

A multi-seasonal walk through the beautiful Coombe Valley whilst route checking for the Chase and Chalke Partnership and Cranborne Chase NL.

It is only a couple of months since I last visited this area. That was a cold damp day which soured my mood somewhat

The walk begins and ends in the large village (or is it a small town) of Tisbury

I must confess to being terribly late to write this particular piece. It was over two years ago now that I met Bo Novak, a friend of...

Venturing close to the Somerset border near Stourton we encountered a mysterious, ancient area once part of the legendary Selwood Forest.

This has been a very difficult blog to write. One which I very nearly didn’t write at all.

Littleton is a relatively obscure place, which is along the Mid Wilts Way long distance footpath. Today it consists of a couple of farms,...

Let's start with the elephant in the room. I know that Bowood isn't strictly "Hidden" Wiltshire. The house and grounds are a well known...

In the footsteps of the Romans east of Malmesbury, Wiltshire

Erlestoke Wood is quite a pleasant place to walk and I've already written on this site about its abundance of bluebells in the spring....

Before St John's Church was built in West Ashton in 1846, the villagers would use St Mary's Church in Steeple Ashton for funerals. To get...

Whilst not unique to Wiltshire, clumps are something that many of us envisage when we think of the county’s landscape. Otherwise known...

This walk starts in the Wiltshire metropolis of Warminster, but quickly leaves the urban area and heads up in the hills to explore more...
