Outdoor & Adventure

If getting outdoors is your thing then there are lots of opportunities available for you in Wiltshire from the more sedate activities through to thrill-seeking adventures. Wiltshire is calming comforting, refreshing: at the end of a hectic week breathe a deep sigh of relief and head on over. Find out more about Wiltshire’s outdoor and adventure activities below…

What makes Wiltshire so special?

With over half of our county designated as a National Landscape, plus the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site here, we have landscapes that are truly timeless. Step back into our history or take in some of our great outdoor activities and make your time for Wiltshire.

Outdoor activities to explore our timeless landscapes

If you enjoy walking then there is lots of opportunity for walking here. Stroll along the towpath of the Kennet & Avon Canal, climb to the top of Cley Hill for spectacular views or walk long distance trails such as the Ridgeway. We’ve even put together our top 10 places to walk to help get you started. If you prefer a bit more help with where to go why not consider a walking holiday with one of our local walking companies? Or have a go at paddle boarding, canoeing, archery, climbing and even zombie apocalypse game with the Wiltshire Outdoor Learning Team. 

Cyclists and horse riders will enjoy the byways that cross the countryside too.

If you enjoy bird watching then head to Langford Lakes Nature Reserve or join Wiltshire Wildlife Trust for one of their guided tours that take in the local flora and fauna.

Discover the adventurous side of Wiltshire

Whether you fancy one of our driving opportunities with a difference, jumping out of a plane or trying your hand at some of our water activities find out more by booking an adventure holiday in Wiltshire.

Take to our big skies by trying your hand at skydiving and do a tandem parachute jump over Wiltshire? GoSkydive and Skydive Netheravon are on hand to offer this thrill-seeking experience in Wiltshire.

If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground then why not try your hand at one of our great driving activities on offer across the county from rally driving and off-roading through to track driving.

Or how about taking part in some water sports at the Cotswold Lakes? You can try your hand at cable skiing or wakeboarding (or some more sedate water activities if you prefer).
