Wiltshire

109 km / 68 miles
Extending from close to the Berkshire border to just short of the Somerset border, yet never straying outside the Wiltshire border, the Mid Wilts Way (MWW), researched and designed by James Alsop from Wiltshire College, Trowbridge, is a 68-mile route that takes in some of Wiltshire's finest countryside and downland areas and could be walked in either direction.

At its eastern end the walk starts/finishes in the attractive village of Ham, located just to the south of Hungerford, and at the western end finishes close to the Somerset border in the heart of the pretty village of Mere.

In all, there are ten villages along the route, many of which provide accommodation and/or refreshments. They are, from east to west, Wilton, Wootton Rivers, Oare, Seend Cleeve, Keevil, Steeple Ashton, Bratton, Upton Scudamore, Horningsham and Kingston Deverill.

The route is coincident in significant sections with the Wansdyke Path (with information on the earthwork on the web link on that route's page), the Wessex Ridgeway, and with the White Horse Trail that provides a link to the start of the Ridgeway National Trail.

Train services run to towns near to the route at Hungerford, Pewsey, Melksham, Westbury, and Warminster.

FEBRUARY 2023:
Single-lane road narrowing with traffic lights on Victoria Road in Warminster, Wiltshire is reported to be causing problems for pedestrians. While the 'road works' continue it is suggested that walkers avoid this stretch of the Mid Wilts Way. The works are scheduled to be completed by the end of March 2023.
