The Pepperbox is a hexagonal folly built in 1606 by Giles Eyre, reputedly so that he could look down on his neighbours, but it may also have been used as a look-out tower from which ladies would observe the hunt. There are fine views all around, notably towards Salisbury to the west. Starting from the folly, you walk along a ridge with further splendid views to Dean Hill. A woodland walk follows, with masses of bluebells in the springtime, before reaching the Wiltshire village of Whiteparish with its church, pubs and village shop. After a short walk through the village, a gentle climb across fields takes you back to your starting point.
