Toegang
Martin Down is located 15 km southwest of Salisbury. Parking either off the A354 Salisbury to Blandford Road (but a difficult exit onto a fast main road) or at the end of Sillens Lane in the village of Martin. Click on the P in the map for directions. The area can be accessed by bus between Salisbury and Blandford.
One can do a long circuit on foot between the two car parks covering most of the habitats in 3-4 hours. The circular route indicated on the map is about 7,5 km. No facilities except car park and can be quite exposed to sun and wind.
