Yes, we can supply most of the walking routes in leaflet form. We don’t charge for them, but would ask that you make a donation to the Pewsey Vale Tourism Partnership to cover the cost of postage, as it is quite expensive nowadays. We are a voluntary, not- for-profit organisation, so every penny counts!

The Vale of Pewsey is a very rural area and rights of way go through farmland. You will not only see livestock on some farms, but many of the areas, particularly downland, will have ground-nesting birds between March and the end of July. Although your dog may not actually chase the birds, just the disturbance from a predator is enough for some birds such as skylarks and peewits to abandon their nests. Also, please pick up your dog’s poo and don’t leave the poo bag on a hedge or elsewhere and take it home with you!

There is lots of information on how to walk through fields with livestock and how to follow the Countryside Code – have a look here for information.

Yes – we are always happy to link you to the relevant church or community if we can. We would also advise that you contact the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham as they hold lots of local history archives.
