Other walks in the area
Calne to High Penn Loop

Nice easy route starting with the Wilts & Berks canal, then along Abberd Brook - lots of opportunities to spot a variety of water birds and even otters have been seen. You walk up out of the town and into the countryside where the birdlife moves to red kites and buzzards. An amble through High Penn nature reserve with great views sees you walking down and back into Calne.
Avebury, West Kennett and Silbury Hill
This Wiltshire walk provides a way of visiting many of the interesting World Heritage Neolithic sites around the village of Avebury including the Stone Circle, Silbury Hill and West Kennett Long Barrow.
Hackpen Hill and Overton Down from Avebury

The North Wessex Downs provides some good walking terrain and this extended route from Avebury takes you onto the downs to follow a section of the Ridgeway.
Ogbourne St George to Avebury, The Ridgeway the Other Way
The Ridgeway the other way. The National Trail from NE to SW. The Stage 6 is a short walk as you will probably have to continue a bit further to get a place to stay and maybe head to Swindon or Trowbridge for onward travel. The countryside is a mixture of arable land, changing colour with the seasons, and areas of sheep or cattle grazed grassland. Some of the best views are from Smeathe’s Ridge as you climb gently up to Barbury Castle.
Easton Grey / Sherston
An easy pleasant walk around pretty villages of Easton Grey and Sherston Parva (Pinkney), near Malmesbury.
Milk Hill the highest point in Wiltshire
A pleasant Wiltshire walk across chalk downland to the highest point in the county. The walk also includes some other interesting features typical of this area.
