We are the South Wiltshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We initially follow the Mid Wiltshire Way past Martinsell Hill, descending to the Vale to reach the nature reserve at Jones Mill. We then continue to Oare and Huish before ascending to the ridge at Gopher Wood, staying on the ridge for the rest of the walk. Panoramic views over the Vale of Pewsey; generally good tracks with only a few short muddy stretches. Map: EX157.
Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Kevin M 07854612907) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.
If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.
There will be two stops during the day for coffee and lunch (please bring a picnic)
Dogs on leads.
Martinsell Car Park (What3words: clattered.truck.edit). Coming from Salisbury on A345, once you reach the top of the hill after passing through Oare, take the first right (very acute turn) signed Clench/Wootton Rivers. Follow the lane for just over a mile and the car park is on the right immediately after an ice warning sign. PLEASE NOTE: THE CAR PARK IS SMALL, SO LIFT SHARING STRONGLY ENCOURAGED.
