Walker review

A very enjoyable walk. Very hilly but worth it for the views from the top.

Walker review

Instead of walking along Wishford road, there is a path on left hand side of the hedge after the last brick house coming out of Wilton. Gap in hedge. You can continue on to the bottom of Haddon Hill or cross the level crossing to go via the river.
