We start the walk at the village hall and head towards the edge of the Bowood Estate. Here we follow a short stretch of their path past the golf course, before re-joining the road that then takes us back to the main A4. We use the pavement to take us on to Black Dog Hill. We then join the Chippenham to Calne Railway path and follow it to Old Abbey Farm, before turning back on ourselves to head towards Studley, and the short climb back to the beginning.
