Overview

Starting at Hungerford Common we walk south towards Inkpen, then continuing west towards Mount Prosperous (home of Jethro Tull). We then head north and cross the Salisbury road to Standen Manor, eventually joining  the Kennet and Avon Canal. The walk then continues along the  tow path through the lower part of Hungerford to Dunmill lock whereupon, leaving the canal, we head back to the parked cars.

Several stiles and gates. Maybe quite muddy in places depending on the weather this coming week
