White Barrow trail

This challenging 10-mile circular trail takes you on a unique walk to the Neolithic Long Barrow and through the Salisbury Plain Training Area. Be prepared for tanks, gunfire (not live ammunition) and troops training, but you'll also discover an area rich in wildlife. In spring and summer you'll see abundant flora, including cowslips, orchids and fairy flax and the nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies too, from the common blue in May to the marbled white in summertime.
