Set deep within the vast openness of Salisbury Plain, these walks offer a real sense of space and rolling chalk downland.

With routes passing through the village of Tilshead and extending out towards the edge of Copehill Down, these walks are all about fresh air, quiet tracks and a striking feeling of wide, uninterrupted landscape.

Route type
Circular

This is a slightly different walk to the rest on the app, in that it is located deep in the middle of the vast Salisbury Plains.

There's not a lot of variety in terms of woodland, waterside or interesting features on the walk, but it is a lovely walk for getting that feeling of expanse, fresh air and sweeping open countryside.

It also visits the village of Tilshead where there is a pub for refreshments.

Walker review

Walking on Salisbury Plain almost daily is fantastic. Endless routes and locations to try. This was a good one I have done parts of on other walking trips before. So its Really good to see some walks appearing on here. Have you thought of a section purely for Plain walks? (Note from Wiltshire Walks: we could look to add more! :) email us your suggestions to wiltshire@localwalks.co.uk)

This second route is basically an extension to the first route that takes you even deeper into the Salisbury plain and takes you around the edge of the Copehill Down village.
