The walk
This is a lovely long walk in the pretty countryside that you'll find between Edington and Coulston, including a walk to the summit of Edington Hill which at 200m elevation offers fantastic views.
There is a section of quiet road walking on this route and a fair amount of hill climbing, and the little detour marked on the map takes you to a nice pub for well-earned refreshments during your walk.

First-hand experiences
Fantastic walk - loved the deer along the way....
Yet another lovely route.
Excellent walk!
Another lovely walk. Route easy to follow.Very muddy in places after recent rain . Good views and very quiet.
Very pleasant walk with outstanding views with a short but steep incline and decline.
Very good walk really enjoyable. Went early in the morning. The sun and mist made the view. Would happily go again. Loads of places where you could change the route to make it shorter.
We really enjoyed this walk, we did it in reverse so avoided the steep climb at the start. Beautiful views across the wiltshire countryside.
Beautiful views from the top of the hills varied route and loved hiding with my young family in the fields of corn.
Hidden gate at Coulston was tricky to find and i ended up walking a little way along a slightly dangerous road before finding it. It was directly opposite the exit in the other side but looked like private property.
Very steep climb at the start. Going down into the wood there was a stile that i had to lift my 30kg dog over. When crossing the road into the deer park the black gate on the left is not very easily seen. Coulston back to Edington is across famers fields with livestock. Very enjoyable walk, saw over 50 deer.
Stunning views
Lovely walk but a very steep start at the beginning. Glad we had walking poles. Equally steep descent at the end which might be slippery in winter.
