AN UPCOMING walking weekend promises to deliver excellent views of Salisbury.

Families, visitors to the city – and those that just love a good walk – are being invited to take part in South Wiltshire Ramblers Group’s first public walking weekend.

Taking place from Friday May 16 to Sunday May 18, the event welcomes walkers who would like to explore the locality on foot.

Organisers said: “With an area rich in scenery and history, criss-crossed by droves and footpaths, South Wiltshire is a fantastic area for walkers.

“Throughout the weekend a variety of walks will be offered to explore some of the area’s many attractive features, including the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury and the villages and downland of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape.”

Many of the walks on offer will be selected from the Rambler’s very successful series of published local walking guides and will include routes to appeal to all ages and abilities.

There will be walks of differing lengths and fitness levels to choose from. Every walk will be free and will be led by an experienced Ramblers walk leader.

All of the walks will be advertised on the Ramblers’ website as well as being promoted through the Salisbury Tourist Information Centre.

Further details will also be available in due course on the group website.
