Sand Hole Lane

Highlight • Cycleway

This has been a publicly accessible unadopted lane for decades, used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Watch out for dog poo 💩😑

This is another section of the Wessex Ridgeway that gives you amazing views of and over Westbury town, A nice bridleway that is more like singletrack, its fast in warmer months, a bit lumpy in the winter, leads onto the magical avenue of beech trees.

Its nice to use this section as an interesting diversion if you are cycling the Imber Range Perimeter Path.

View from Westbury White Horse

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the best views over Wiltshire and Somerset can be had from the top of the White Horse, here on the edge of the Salisbury plain and the Imber Range military area. It makes the climbing all the more worthwhile!

Cheverell Hill Farm WW1 Film Location

Highlight • Trail

The land south of the village of Erlestoke was used as a location in the 2018 film '1917' set during the second world war. During filming, deep trenches were dug into to the landscape to replicate WW1 scenes.

Cheverell Hill Farm, passed on the bridleway between Great Cherverill and the Imber Range Perimiter Path, was once a working farm but is now used by the military.
