Nut Covert is a small woodland area located in Wiltshire, England. Situated in the county's southern region, it forms part of the larger forest known as Wiltshire Wood. This woodland is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers, offering a serene and tranquil environment.

Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, Nut Covert is characterized by its dense vegetation and diverse range of tree species. The woodland is primarily composed of native trees such as oak, beech, and ash, creating a rich and vibrant canopy overhead. This provides a haven for various wildlife species, including birds, squirrels, and deer, which can often be spotted among the trees.

The forest floor is covered in a thick layer of leaf litter and fallen branches, creating a natural habitat for small mammals and insects. Walking through Nut Covert, visitors may come across enchanting wildflowers and mushrooms, adding to the area's natural beauty.

There are several well-maintained walking trails within Nut Covert, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These pathways wind through the trees, providing glimpses of sunlight and offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Nut Covert is easily accessible, with a small parking area available for visitors. The woodland is open year-round, although autumn is particularly popular due to its stunning display of colorful foliage. Whether it's for a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the serenity of nature, Nut Covert is a charming destination for outdoor enthusiasts in Wiltshire.

On the Test Way near Buttermere The route has wandered some way from the river, out of Hampshire and along the Berkshire/Wiltshire boundary. It is strange to see Hampshire County Council waymarkers here. The path, which links up with the Wayfarers' Walk between Gallows Down and Walbury Hill, turns left here into Combe Wood.

Footpath through wheat, Henley The route of the path heading ENE from Moordown Farm is, unlike some locally, clearly marked. The path soon heads out of the grid-square on its way towards Buttermere such that the copse to the left is outside of the grid-square though most of the hedgerow in the valley is within it.
