Westbury’s four Slow Ways are 88% checked
Help connect Westbury
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Westbury’s Slow Ways.

I walked wesbra one today, but looped back round and walked the road section that makes wesbra two different. While I enjoyed the footpath in wesbra one, I cannot disagree that this version is more accessible, and is well worth having in the database as an alternative....

Yes, it may not have dramatic vistas, but it has great views of the Westbury White Horse and of the wider Wiltshire countryside....

This is a fantastic way to walk between Westbury and Warminster....

A couple of dodgy ones though and care needed crossing the 3 lanes on the A36....

I have created an alternative route Wesbra two which follows the majority of the original route, but instead of bearing right up the pasture land with stiles, it continues along the Lower Westbury Road, joining the Trowbridge Bratton Road, and then largely following Wesbra one, slightly changing at Redlands. This route is then Wheelchair / Pushchair / and mobility scooter friendly...

This route is basically the same as Wesbra one, but cutting out the pasture with stiles. It is then suitable for those with mobility issues. It is the same length as Wesbra one...

Having undertake the survey, I found the section from the water treatment works up to the Imber Trail challenging....
Brian
The section of walking on raised verge on Hawkeridge Rd 0.20 mi is very unpleasant, with fast moving heavy lorries and cars traveling right next to you, the verge is undulating, with slots for road drainage....

Terrain good may be muddy in places during wet spells (ploughed fields)....
Gareth Hiscock
A very pleasant and not too long walk up onto the edge of Salisbury Plain with views across surrounding vales....

After Dilton Marsh, the path continues through arable fields until reaching a road and railway (path passes under) at Penleigh, after which the route is more urban into Westbury....

In terms of interest, it's not very remarkable other than passing close to Westbury White Horse, but if you're looking for a relatively flat walking route from Westbury to Bratton this is the obvious way to go....
