Circular

This second route is another short walk, but it packs in some extra variety that makes this a perfect family-friendly pub walk.

It still visits the village of Ludgershall and the castle, but it also extends north to take you on a stretch of pretty woodland walking through the outskirts of the pretty Collingbourne Wood.

As with all woodland walks, it can get muddy after wet weather, so appropriate footwear might be required.

This third option is for those of you that want to stretch your legs a little bit more on your walk and enjoy exploring deep into areas of woodland.

Like the first two routes, this one visits the castle and village with it's lovely pubs. However, it then takes you on a much longer woodland adventure deep into the wonderful undulating Collingbourne Woods.

Ludgershall Walk 4

Walk distance

Time

Route type
Circular

This final route is a much longer and strenuous walk, so it requires a lot more time and energy than the others, but you are rewarded with a wonderful varied adventure in the beautiful scenery that you'll find to the north of Ludgershall.

The route visits the village and castle as with the other routes, but then it takes you right the way through the wonderful Collingbourne Woods before looping back over the Chute Down and Bauks Hill for some wonderful views.
