Walk information

Wroughton Walk 1

Walk distance
2½ miles
Time
1.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This is a lovely short family-friendly stroll around a wonderful area of nature and woodland to the south of Wroughton.

We recommend you complete the walk in an anticlockwise direction, and on the route you'll find lots of different habitats, some pretty landscapes, some paths with magnificent views and the twisted Clouts wood which has some enchanting wild garlic blooms in the spring.

There are some mild hills to climb and some steep steps in the woods, so please be prepared for a climb. There is also a little detour to a nice pub for refreshments before or after your walk!

Walker review

A section of the footpath is currently closed due to felling of diseased trees. Due to reopen around 22nd Oct 2024. There are alternative footpaths that can be used but overall length a little shorter.

Walker review

Parts of the route were muddy and slippery after some rain BUT it is walkable with good shoes or wellies. As the description states there are climbs to some lovely views. It is a pretty walk and the bluebells were just starting to come out. My dog loved it.

Walker review

Do not attempt this after rain. I walked the route today and slipped and slid my way around, not enjoyable at all. I actually took a detour as I was so fed up of it. No styles but some gates and some cows on the route. I’m just glad my dog enjoyed it!

Walker review

This was such a lovely and enjoyable walk! However coming back I did spot a bull in the field and so had to go a different way. Beware of the bulls especially if you go alone.

Walker review

This is a known area to me and I always get lost. I havent visited for a while so I checked the app when I got here and was delighted to find a route. I didnt do the pub extension but had a lovely evening walk around the shorter route. It was fairly overgrown so I got a few stings as I was in shorts but the routes are still passable. A couple of short hilly bits.

Wroughton Walk 2

Walk distance
5 miles
Time
2.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This second route option is a long circular walk around the outskirts of Wroughton. The walk is known as the Timberland Trail and it visits Wroughton itself, Brimble Hill, the Jacob's Ladder path, Croft Woods and Burderop Wood.

There's a fair amount of roadside walking on the route on footpaths, so please be careful on these sections.

As both of our routes from Wroughton head in opposite directions, you can join the two walks together to create one big epic figure-of-eight adventure walk.
