Nunton Walks & Route Maps

Nunton walk, Wiltshire

These walks explore the countryside south of Nunton, where quiet lanes, open fields and the ridge of Clearbury Down shape a varied rural outing.

Expect a mix of easier sections and hillier ground, with steady climbs leading onto higher ground and rewarding views across the surrounding landscape.

Clearbury Down is the main highlight across all routes, offering wide panoramas once you reach the top.

The longer options extend further into the surrounding estates and villages, with additional byways and more remote-feeling countryside adding to the sense of space throughout.

Nunton Walk 1

Walk distance
5¼ miles
Time
2.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This first walk option is a nice circular walk that takes you over the Clearbury Down hill.

Heading anticlockwise, the first half of the walk is more of an exercise section of walking, in that it's just along a quiet country lane, and there is not a huge amount to see.

However, the second half of the walk, on the way back, takes you on a climb up to the top of the Clearbury Down, through lovely countryside, and you are rewarded for your efforts with some fabulous views.

This second route option is a much longer adventure in the pretty countryside to the south of Nunton.

Like the first route, you'll enjoy lots of pretty open countryside on this walk, and also the climb over the wonderful Clearbury Down hill.

However, the extra distance takes you further to the east and visits the village of Charlton All Saints. It also avoids the section of road walking from the first route which is a benefit of choosing this longer route.

The final route option is a truly epic adventure for those of you that really want a huge workout and want to explore all of the countryside to the south of Nunton.

This route also heads over the Clearbury Down hill for some lovely views, and then it heads off to the west through the network of vast open byways that you'll find between the Longford and Whitsbury Estates.

It's a very long and exposed walk, with lots of hills, so please make sure you have the appropriate clothing and refreshments for your journey.
