Activities

A key feature of Wiltshire Walks is that all our Guided Walks are based around a particular theme, and can include activities associated with that theme.

Should you book an Exclusive Walk, then you can choose the Walk theme and which activities you would like during the Walk - you simply add these details at the time of Booking.

For example, a popular choice is the combination of a Map and Compass Skills Course along with an Extended Savernake Forest Guided Walk after the Course.  Naturally the Walk will give you an opportunity to test your skills, but simultaneously you may wish to try-out a little Dowsing, photograph some of the amazing Ancient and Veteran Oak Trees and test your Handheld GPS accuracy whilst searching for Geocaches!

  Activities can include:

• Photography
• Flora & Fauna
• Veteran and Ancient Trees and Tree ‘aging’
