Take on the Chalk Walk this April!

Local walkers and supporters are being invited to take part in a brand-new community challenge this April, as our Charity launches the Chalk Walk, a month-long walking challenge taking in some of Wiltshire’s most iconic chalk horse landmarks.

Inspired by Wiltshire’s famous chalk figures, the route offers two distances to suit everyone: a main route of 32 miles and a shorter option of 17 miles, perfect for families, friends, colleagues or clubs looking for a shared outdoor challenge.
