Good climb, was across fields but fine today as they’ve been harvested. Might have been tricky earlier in the year

Cley Hill stands proud of the surrounding flatlands at 244 m high. There is a trig point, awesome views and steep sided trails to run. It's an important area of chalk downland managed by the National Trust for the plants and insects which live here. Cley Hill is also famous for UFO sightings and crop circles, so keep an eye out :-)

Set amidst classic Wiltshire countryside of rolling chalk downland dotted with ancient remnants of human habitation, Cold Kitchen Hill rises above the Deverills - a series of villages set along the valley of the River Deverill. Head for the trig point at the top.

A rooty climb leading to open fields going through some trees to the top. Great downhill and slightly less fun going up!
