Walker review
Nice walk, just be aware there a few overgrown footpaths. Also, much of the walk is on tracks / byways which we dont enjoy very much.

Mostly by ways but the few paths were overgrown
Walker review
Set within beautiful views of the Marlborough downs and Uffington White horse. 80% of this walk is on walking track/road. So on a dry/hot day walking shoes a better choice than boots. Nice easy, flat route.
Walker review
Good boxing day walk. A couple of muddy fields but after that mainly farm track. Will definitely do this one again.
Walker review
Great walk. Lovely woodland and clear easy paths. Very few other people around so nice and peaceful. No real hills so easy on the knees.
Walker review
Beautiful walk.
Walker review
Not much to see on this route, lots of byway walking with nothing around. Didn’t even realise we’d been in Winterbourne Bassett along the way!
Walker review
Some of the route is overgrown. But a great route and loads of lovely country side to see.
