Tips from the Community
The Bulford Kiwi is a large depiction of a kiwi, carved in the chalk on Beacon Hill above the military town of Bulford on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. It was created in 1919 by soldiers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force who were awaiting repatriation following the end of the First World War. It is one of the few hill figures in Wiltshire to be neither a white horse nor a military badge.

Nice track that goes from Palestine to outside Salisbury. Has many routes you can take off from the track to get to the likes of Boscombe Down/Amesbury etc. Rides nice all year round. Fantastic sunset to be seen along here to once out of the trees and into the fields. Great spot of you like trains too.

The Portway (or Port Way) is an ancient road that once ran between Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester, in modern-day Hampshire) and Sorbiodunum (Old Sarum, Wiltshire). Though often credited to the Romans, the original route may have pre-dated Roman occupation.

Collingbourne Wood doesn't have a lot of trails in fact it's only got one, but it's a still a ice place to go for a pedal about and the trail thats there is good. Look out for wooden shelter for the start.

Standing on top of Bulford Down, you can look north over miles of military firing ranges. You might see tanks lumbering about in the distance or perhaps the landscape will be shrouded in quiet. The Bulford chalk kiwi carving lies just west of here.

This charming and little-known chalk hill carving was crafted by New Zealand soldiers in 1919, whilst waiting for transport to take them home after the First World War. For months they were trapped in Bulford Camp, which lies just below the kiwi's hill, as transport ships were unavailable. To alleviate the increasing unrest in the camp, the men's commanding officers set them about carving a giant kiwi into the chalk hillside, leaving their mark. The kiwi covers 1.5 acres (6,100 m sq) and is hard to see, as the military camp takes up much of the land below the hill. There is a good viewing point from the Bulford Droveway whilst you'll find an information board here, at the top of the kiwi's head.
