Bradford on Avon, Chalfield and Avoncliff

Easy. Distance 26km (16 miles)

One for a wet day. There aren't that many bridleways in this part of Wiltshire but the winding lanes around Conkwell are almost as good!

Bulford Ranges and the Old Marlborough Road

Easy and moderate routes. Distance 15km (9.5 miles) or 29km (18 miles)

A good chunk runs through the Bulford Army Ranges so plan your ride for a non-firing day! The landscape is a mixture of grassland, pasture, scrub and woodland plantations criss-crossed by tank tracks and range roads.

This route follows tracks, field bridleways and a section of the Ridgeway path. Mainly reasonably easy going but with several steady climbs.

Urchfont Hill and the Westbury White Horse

Easy/moderate 42km (25 miles) & moderate/hard routes (46km (29 miles)

You can make this ride as easy or as difficult as you want. Choose either a straightforward out and back along the hard tracks of the Ridgeway and Imber Ranges Perimeter Paths or add in less frequented bridleways to explore some of the combes that cut into the northern edge of the Salisbury Plain.

Knap Hill, West Woods and Martinsell Hill

Moderate. Distance 20km (12.5 miles)

A mixture of forest tracks, minor roads and grassy ridgeway. This route offers a pleasant contrast between forest tracks of West Woods, and the wide open vistas of the Tan Hill Way, which overlooks the Vale of Pewsey from Martinsell Hill and the crests of Oare Hill, Golden Ball Hill and Knap Hills.

Bishopstone, the Ridgeway and Uffington White Horse

Moderate. Distance 25km(15.5 miles)

Reasonably good tracks, several steady climbs and some bumpier sections to test your stamina.

Tytherington and Great Ridge

One of the authors favorite areas of Wiltshire. Wild and solitary. A high proportion of grassy tracks plus some hard stony tracks.

Castle Combe and the Fosse Way

Moderate. Distance 33km (20.5 miles)

One for a dry day as the off roads are very heavy going when wet. A ride that takes the southern end of the Cotswolds with warm honey-coloured limestone oozing from every village and hamlet.

Pepperbox Hill and Nomansland

Moderate. Distance 32km (20 miles)

This SE corner of Wiltshire is unlike the rest of the county, and along the border with Hampshire has a New Forest feel to it. The woods here lie on sandstone rather than chalk, and in spring and early summer are colourful with purple rhododendron.
