Parking:

Parking for walks on accessible parts of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire is often informal, using designated MOD-approved lay-bys or small parking areas on the edge of the Plain where public access is permitted (e.g., near villages like Tilshead, Shrewton, Durrington, Larkhill, or Imber village when it is open to the public). Do not park where signs prohibit it or obstruct any access, especially MOD gates. Always check the MOD Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) access information for current parking advice and open routes for your Wiltshire walk.
