White Horse Trail
Wiltshire is famous for white horses cut into the turf of chalk hillsides and to help you really appreciate the magic and mystery of these 8 hill figures and the land which they occupy, we have created this long distance walking trail.
This trail can be enjoyed as a 90 mile hike over 6 or 7 days or as a series of shorter walks exploring some of the most interesting and exciting landscapes in southern England.
You will pass prehistoric sites such as Avebury, walk sections of the Ridgeway (said to be Europe’s oldest road), visit the medieval town of Devizes and the market town of Marlborough, stroll through Wiltshire’s largest village and walk sections of the famous Kennet and Avon Canal. And, of course, you will see Wiltshire’s 8 white horses - we have especially chosen the route so that you will approach the horses from the best possible vantage points.
