MANY of the historic buildings in Warminster which have been marked with blue plaques were on the route for the last outing in this year’s Six Summer Walks series.

Starting from the central car park, the walk began in North Row passing Dewey House and visited most of the 20 buildings on the trail before ending with a circuit around Smallbrook Meadows Nature Reserve.

The walks were arranged by Warminster Community Hub each month over the summer and it is hoped that the series will be repeated next year.

Walk leader Victoria Coombes said: “It’s been a great series of walks and we’ve been lucky in the fact we’ve been able to complete each one thanks to kind weather.

“The thing I’ve liked most about the series is how people have discovered places of interest they never knew existed, such as Robin Hood’s Bower in Southleigh Wood, which is the site where King Alfred is said to have gathered his troops before the historic battle of Ethandune in 878AD.

“People were also interested in the Bird Henge Trail in Heytesbury, which was created by the Scraptors Sculpture Group.

“On the final walk we visited all of the blue plaques in Warminster, including the one on the Workhouse, which some people didn’t know about.

"I really enjoyed the series and I hope others did too."

Previous walks in the series included one which started on Westbury’s White Horse Hill, one which took hikers around Wylye Valley and one at Battlesbury Hill.
