See Westbury White Horse on foot

Directions from @wandersthewild

Starting your walk from Westbury Marketplace (BA13 3DG), turn with your back to Garstons Vets and follow the road ahead, heading north along Alfred Street. The Horse And Groom pub will be on your right (our finishing post) and then approach a roundabout. Go straight over until you meet the crossroads.

Cross straight over and head uphill to Newtown. At the base of Newtown you will see White Horse Pottery on your left.

Keep heading up Newtown, passing the houses and some stables on your right. Stay ahead following the road round to the left and setting off on another incline.

When you reach a kissing gate on your left, go through and head through the centre of the field diagonally. You’ll pass an old, discarded grain tanker on your left – then pick up the ridge line, following the fence. Follow the path with the fence on your left and enjoy stunning views of the Westbury White Horse ahead.

Eventually you’ll reach another kissing gate. Go through and take the short steep climb up the grassy bank until you see a bench on the summit.

Follow the patch heading directly towards the white horse until you come down some steps to another gate and pick up the Ridge path to walk along the tip of the white horse on a chalky pathway.

On a clear day if you look out above the white horse you’ll see air balloons above the skies of Bristol and to your right views across to Devizes. If your eyesight is good enough, you may even spot the Devizes White Horse.

Stay on the path until you reach another gate. Don’t go through the gate, but follow the path to the right. Once you reach the fence line about 100 metres ahead, you’ll see a gate on your left. Go through and follow the hill down, passing another slurry tanker on your right.
