First-hand experiences
Really gorgeous walk with the dog, very nice tea room close to the end of the walk which is dog friendly with a very nice menu….. worth a visit! One tall stile which may be a challenge for the less mobile human or dog….. all in all….. have already done this route a couple of times
Lovely walk one steepish hill.
Brilliant walk - the views were amazing. The road was a pain to cross due to poor visability and cars speeding. Unfortunately, the tea cafe was closed.
Lovely peaceful walk. Lots of wild flowers and butterflies. Far reaching views from Salisbury Plain.
