Overview

A delightful, moderately paced walk on gently undulating terrain with areas of level ground. The route takes us through pretty villages, with an abundance of thatched cottages, past historic churches, on quiet woodland path. We walk across farm and parkland, before finishing on the towpath of Kennet and Avon Canal. 

Ferns/brambles may be high at this time of the year on a few of the little used paths so long trousers advisable.
