Walk number 13 from Nadder Valley Walks -- "Eighteen circular walks exploring the diverse countryside of the Nadder Valley", produced by the Tisbury Footpath Club... -- Into the Chalke Valley.
A longer, more challenging walk that takes you truly 'away from it all'. The route encompasses the hills and downs, with glorious views from the two drove roads -- first over the Nadder Valley, and then over the Ebble (Chalke) Valley.
Well, we did it on the hottest day of the year -- even with its "steep climbs and descents" -- avoided the World Cup; but got 'buzzed' by the planes racing from nearby Compton Abbas airfield!
