Detalhes

Acesso

Salisbury Plain lies within the county of Wiltshire, but also stretches into Hampshire. Note: a big part of the plain is inaccessible due to military presence but you can park in Tilshead or other nearby villages. The 10 km circular walk from Tilshead that is indicated on the map is accessible year round. This section of Salisbury Plain is part of the Defence Estate. You may meet army personnel engaging in military exercises whilst out walking. These activities are unlikely to affect your walk (live ammunition is not used here), but please follow any instructions from military personnel. Give way to military vehicles, do not interfere with any army activity and keep dogs under close control.

Informação extra

The Abetarda-comum lived in the UK until the mid 1800’s, when the species became a target for Victorian trophy hunters. In 2004 a reintroduction program started. The first release was in 2004, and they continued until 2019. Now a population of over 100 Abetarda-comum is established in the UK. The population is now breeding at a level to be self-sufficient.
