In this episode of my series “Walks in Wiltshire”, I take a 6.5 mile “figure-of-eight” walk from the village of Berwick St John - which is located 5 miles East of Shaftesbury & 15 miles West of Salisbury. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.
I parked my car in Berwick St John and started off with a quick wander through the village and included a visit to the church of St John.
After my exploration of the village, I headed South along a footpath that crossed fields between Easton Farm & Chapel Farm before heading up the side of Winkelbury Hill- to check out the iron age hillfort at the top.
There were some amazing views to enjoy at the top of the hill, especially over to the North. I then made may way down off the hill towards Cross Farm and followed a byway Northwards. This took me up Woodlands Down and eventually to a high ridge at which point I joined the old Shaftesbury Drove.
Heading West, I passed a trig point,the Long Barrow and eventually came across the White Sheet Hill Milestone. At that point, I headed South on the homeward leg back to the village.
At the time of filming (12th May 2024), the only pub in the village - The Talbot Inn - was temporarily closed. I believe it may have been up for sale and hopefully will be re-opening again soon?
NB: The Jack Hargreaves TV episode, mentioned in this video, can be seen at • Exploring the17th Cent... The episode was from the "Old Country" series rather than the earlier "Out of Town" series as I incorrectly stated in my video.
