Overview

This undulating walk takes us out of Marlborough along the Wessex Ridgeway to the downs and gallops and onto Ogbourne Maizey. We may have good views over the countryside and may see some race horses, if we are lucky. Crossing Poulton Downs and into Mildenhall, from where we follow the Kennet back into Marlborough.
