There are few counties that match the variety of scenery and history in Wiltshire, from the creamy Cotswold of Castle Combe to the soft, green countryside which surrounds Salisbury. Here, both you and your dog can share the delights of new walking territory.

All are circular routes, designed with maximum off-lead time and minimum exposure to roads.

Highlights include Barbury Castle, Ogbourne St George, Savernake Forest, Stourhead, Tollard Royal and ancient Avebury where the Ridgeway footpath begins.

From the creamy Cotswold of Castle Combe to the soft, green countryside around Salisbury, these are what we consider to be the best dog walks in Wiltshire.

• Livestock and stiles
