If I had to choose my favourite part of Wiltshire the Pewsey Vale with its immense views from the chalk downland and the contrasting Kennet and Avon Canal would be high on the list. I’ve spent many a happy hour walking in the hills, and in particular tracing the route of the ancient Wansdyke earthworks and ditch which runs for 35 miles through Wiltshire and Somerset.

I recently walked a section of the Wansdyke that I haven’t visited for many years, completing the circuit by returning to the start via the canal towpath. A scenery of huge contrasts in a short 7.6 mile circuit. I used the photographs I took on the way to write a blog for the Hidden Wiltshire website which you can read in full using the link below.
