White Horse Trail - Alton Barnes to Pewsey short cut

Wiltshire

13 km / 8 miles
This 'short cut' walk has the benefit of splitting the whole White Horse Trail into two long circular walks, if desired. One can go from Westbury to Redhorn Hill to Pewsey, then to Alton Barnes rather than Marlborough and the more northerly White Horses, completing the circle by going on to Devizes before returning to Westbury. Equally one can use the short cut to go from Broad Hinton to Cherhill to Alton Barnes, then to Pewsey rather than continuing to Devizes and the more southerly white horses, completing the circuit by going on to Marlborough and Hackpen Hill before returning to Broad Hinton. Or vice versa! And of course it is a very pleasant walk just done on its own.
