Back on the last century I worked on the downs just north of Devizes, and coming from Hampshire I missed the trees for a while, but then I got used to the wide open spaces and the skylarks. You could work away on top of your own down and watch near and far neighbours at work. When I eventually had move away I had withdrawal symptoms for years….
I agree with the points made earlier about Mere down, Pertwood and the byroads to Salisbury. But equally, visit Win Green just outside Shaftesbury with views over Cranborne Chase, then take the B road from Blandford to Shaftesbury. Try a ride through the Chalke Valley parallel to the A30, with a refreshment stop at the Horseshoe, Ebbesbourne Wake.
