About the Event

Embrace a classic long-distance walking challenge at the Pewsey Downsaround on Sunday, 26th April 2026, exploring the historic and scenic landscapes of Wiltshire's beautiful Pewsey Vale. Organized by the Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA), this popular event offers four circular route choices: a 35-mile full challenge, a 26-mile route, a 17-mile option, and a 10-mile walk, all starting from the Pewsey Scout Hut. Each route is a celebration of ancient history, passing world-famous sites like the Avebury Stone Circle, Silbury Hill, and the ancient Wansdyke defensive earthwork, with breathtaking views across the Marlborough Downs. As a traditional LDWA challenge, the event is non-competitive but timed, featuring well-stocked checkpoints and electronic timing via a scanned tag to track your progress. Registration is open online now via SiEntries, with no entries accepted on the day, so secure your spot early for this well-loved spring walking fixture. Whether you're a seasoned challenge walker aiming for the 35-mile distance or simply want to enjoy a stunning 10-mile stroll, the 2026 Downsaround promises a rewarding day of camaraderie, history, and beautiful English countryside.
