Walking & Cycling

Exploring the peaceful countryside by bike is the ultimate way to get off the beaten track and get a feel for the real North Wiltshire – and it could not be easier.

For cyclists, the recently completed North Wiltshire’s Rivers Route (part of Route 4 of the National Cycleway) runs through the south of the district, linking Lacock, Chippenham, Calne and the beautiful Cherhill Downs.

If you enjoy a challenge, why not complete the entire route in a day, or spend a few days exploring each of the towns along the way – individual circular cycle routes (linked to the North Wiltshire Rivers Route) have been developed for each.  Cosy country pubs and restaurants are can be found along the way, with village shops and other services never far away.
