Wiltshire Walks
These walks make the most of the Washpool Community Project on the edge of Chiseldon, a small but nature-rich area of ponds, wild corners and open green space created to support local wildlife.
Despite its proximity to the village, it has a tucked-away feel that gives the area a real sense of calm.
The walks are short and accessible, with the longer option adding a little extra distance and some hill climbing for wider views across the surrounding landscape.
Both routes offer a relaxed blend of nature, fresh air and easy-going paths.

The paths wander through this green sanctuary, where ponds, wild corners and open spaces create a calm setting that feels surprisingly secluded for somewhere so close to home.

First-hand experiences
Nice short walk, some slight inclines as well as a few gates and one style. Passed some other dog walkers and a few horses but other than that all was quiet.
Walk information

First the paths explore the quiet green spaces around the Washpool, with its ponds, wild corners and calm, tucked-away feel.
Then, the route heads out towards the surrounding slopes, where a few steeper sections get the heart pumping and offer a different perspective of the landscape before looping back.
