Report

I totally agree with the two previous reviews, the route is 100% paved, lit tarmac, so is accessible to pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Note : the route is also a cycIe lane. l recorded the route on GPS at 2.31 mi, with a 219' ascent. There are no facilities in the middle third, but there are bus stops within the first and third third. Both Tidworth and Ludgershall have full facilities.

Report

Not the prettiest of walks, adjacent to a main road . The pavement at Tidworth end slightly encroached upon by garden hedges but adequate. Steep incline in parts Tidworth to Ludgershall, better the other way. A route purely for getting from A to B rather than for pleasure.

Report

Accessible route alongside main road, it too pretty but good floor surface and is a straight and fast way between villages. Steep at Tidworth side so may not be accessible for everyone, also traffic is fast on this road so be mindful.
