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

Do not be deceived by the flat farm road at the beginning of this walk; all-too-soon comes a short sharp ascent onto Upton Cow Down. A pause to catch breath at the top brings decent views of this corner of Salisbury Plain, before the walk heads through nearby woodland where the beech trees are carved with graffiti reflecting decades of love lost but mainly love gained. Beyond lies Wellhead Springs and Chalford, followed by a descent into Old Dilton. The hamlet’s 14th century St Mary’s Church with its box pews and unusual spire will catch the eye, although a detour is necessary to access the church key. It is then cross country to Biss Bottom and the hidden source of the mighty Biss, followed by the return to Upton Scudamore. Here the Angel Inn, also known as La Campagna, will no doubt appeal to the Dining Club. Bring snack.
