Overview

A walk through and around parts of the Longleat Estate, on footpaths and tracks with some stretches on lanes. Taking in Roddenbury Hill, Dertford’s Wood and Redford Water, a few short climbs, a couple of stiles. Some lovely broadleaf woodlands and good views.  We will stop midway for a snack. The pub at East Woodlands is now closed but the churchyard back at the end of the walk is a nice place to have a picnic lunch.

Meet at St Katherine’s Church, East Woodlands BA11 5LQ. It would be helpful if people could car share, there is parking for 10-12 cars by the Church but we won’t be the only people using the space. I shall be parking in the small car park by the old Horse and Groom pub BA11 5LY from where it is only a 10 minute walk to the church, following the footpath to your left across a field. If you come from the A361 you will pass this before you get to the church so anyone happy with the extra walk could also park here.
