Fonthill Gifford Walk & Route Map
This walk starts in Fonthill Gifford and makes its way through a quiet corner of the Fonthill Estate, where a mix of woodland paths and open farmland create a varied and spacious countryside feel.
One of the highlights is the stretch alongside Fonthill Lake, where the water and surrounding trees bring a more sheltered, reflective contrast to the wider estate views.

Walker review
Very pretty walk with well signed paths that were in good condition. About 25% on rural roads but they are very quiet with little traffic. Nice pub at the end of the walk. There is also parking in a layby near the lake if the pub is busy.
