You probably won’t be able to go through imber village itself, but there are plenty of routes across the plain from Westbury to West Lavington and round the perimeter
If you are going Westbury-Salisbury then look out for the bored squaddie in the live fire truck. They usually put them on duty to ensure cyclists and hikers don’t get blown up. Being army types they can generally read maps so you can show your route and they can yay or nay it.

Salisbury plain experts: is the Imber path usually accessible and not red flagged?
I've got holiday to use up and have booked Monday off. Thinking about revisiting Salisbury plain for the first time in a few years. Last time I didn't even check the firing times and obviously just got lucky. This time I've planned ahead and looked at the firing times; on Monday, there's firing on Larkhill / Westdown, Bulford and Warminster ranges.
Try as I might I can't find exactly where these are located, but was planning to pick up the Imber range path at Westbury, following it round to Netheravon, then seeing if I could loop around there then re-tracing my steps. Does that sound plausible? I don't want to waste a trip!
Thanks for any help.
