WALX Wessex

Walk Description:

From one hour WALX in your local country park to a half day in the hills, our Explorer WALX capture the variety of scenery, themes and types of WALX that suit your lifestyle. If you love WALX to the pub or WALX with the dog or simply WALX in wild locations we have them all! Whether long, short, tough or gentle we welcome all ages and all levels.

We love to walk on the weekends and try to arrange at least a couple a month. 

Poles are optional on an Open WALX - if you would like to try some poles please contact me in advance.

Today's Walk: Alton Barnes White Horse & Milk Hill

A favourite walk. Today we walk up from Pewsey Downs car park to Adams Grave. A walk along the ridge via Milk Hill and then along the Wansdyke towards Knapp Hill and Gopher Woods. And back to the start.

Pace & Intensity: Fairly moderate paced walk suitable for most abilities.

Gradient: there are some hills which can be taken slowly.

Miles: This walk is around 5 miles.

Notes: Park in the main Pewsey Downs car park. This gets busy on weekends and may be worth car sharing if you can. We can drive down to Honeystreet Mill cafe and have a coffee/tea or a full English at the cafe at the end of the walk.

Location Notes:

Please park in the overflow carpark which is on right before the cafe turn off when coming from Alton Barnes. If you are joining us after the walk then feel free to park in the main cafe car park.
