We are the South Wiltshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This Sunday Ramble starts from the village hall in Ashmore, from where we walk to Compton Abbas airfield before ascending to Melbury Beacon (800ft) from where we should get magnificent views. We continue to Compton Abbas village which involves a stretch of road walking before ascending onto Fontmell Down with more fantastic views. The return route continues through Fontmell Down Nature Reserve on open access land and Fontmell Wood. Height gain 1300 feet. Note this walk has 3 significant ascents. Walking mostly on good paths and tracks, though some long wet grass due to recent rain. Map: EX118.
