Walk the walk around the village of Ansty!

A grassy hillside with terraced ridges, scattered bushes, and trees along the slope and base.

 Part of the old bridle road from Ansty to Berwick St John. 

The parish of Ansty has some of the most beautiful public rights of way (PROWs) in the county of Wiltshire – crossing varied landscapes including chalk and greensand hills flanked by clay coombes all connecting points of much interest. No wonder our parish area is part of the:

Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty! 

All of our footpaths (see below) are currently fully accessible, carefully waymarked and maintained!
