NORTH WESSEX DOWNS WALKING FESTIVAL 2022 - 11-26 JUNE - OPEN FOR BOOKINGS NOW
Roundway Devizes Andrew Perrott

A truly special place, protected for you

From remote, rolling downland to picture postcard villages the North Wessex Downs are truly special. Undoubtedly among Britain’s most beautiful landscapes, they are somewhere to be treasured, protected and enjoyed. Straddling four counties and often unheralded, this is an area united by a single factor – chalk.
