Allington Walks & Route Maps

These walks start from Allington and explore open Wiltshire countryside, with wide fields, gentle rises, and long views that give the area a broad, open character.

Depending on the route, you can either enjoy a shorter rural circuit or a longer outing that adds extra distance, a touch of woodland, and more time among the surrounding farmland.

Both routes pass through Newton Tony, where The Malet Arms offers a handy spot to pause before heading back across the fields to complete the walks.

This longer route from Allington stretches the open countryside feel into a more energetic outing if you have more time and want to really stretch your legs.

Wide fields, gentle rises and big skies dominate much of the walk, giving it an exposed, spacious character that changes with the weather.
