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.

Todays walk: Aldbourne Circular Route (in 2 parts)

The walk starts from the layby at the base of Sugar Hill on the B4192 towards Swindon - we start up Suagr Hill to join the Ridgeway Circular Trail and walk up to Liddington Castle - we then rejoin the Aldbourne Circular Route through Upham and then join the B4192 at new Barn (1/2 mile of road walking on pavement and verge) to reach the village. Those who are only doing this part of the walk can park in village and get a lift to the start.

Leader: This walk is run by Ashley Sandy

Length and Grade: 8 miles some moderate climbs.

Parking: If you intend to join both parts of the walk then park at Sugar Hill layby. If you are only doing the first part then you can park in the village and arrange for me to pick you up and drive you to the start.

Notes: No coffee stops or toilets on walk but you can have a coffee after at the Post Office cafe.

You can join the second part of the walk after a break for a picnic lunch or a visit to the PO Cafe. The second part is 4 miles and takes the total to 12 miles.

Bring water and a snack as this is a longer walk.

Location Notes:

Park by the byway indicated here. If this area is full then drive on and park on lay by on Aldbourne to Liddington B4192 road - before you reach the Ridgeway.
