Ruins of St. Mary’s Church, Wilton

Highlight • Monument

Described as a 'quintessential English market town', Wilton is rich in history and home to a wide range of traditional family owned shops, pubs and cafés. The shopping village, located in the old carpet mills, hosts a community of artisans and unique small businesses.

The charter market has been going on for several hundred years here and is still going strong! Market day is every Thursday, beginning early Thursday morning and continuing until mid-afternoon.

This wonderful section of NCN 24 follows peaceful lanes through idyllic countryside and villages with thatched buildings and cottage gardens. The terrain is gently undulating, so you can get a decent pace going without too much effort. The few cars I did encounter were slow and courteous. A truly fabulous cycle route.

First Broad Drive, Grovely Woods

Highlight • Historical Site

First Broad Drive is an arrow-straight avenue through the heart of Grovely Woods. It's easy to pick up speed along this section; usually straight lines are something of a rarity where trail running is concerned. Unsurprisingly, given its trajectory, it was once part of a Roman road, a section of a trade route that connected the Mendips to the English Channel.
