Overview

A walk in the less frequented countryside to the east of Ilmington. From the village we begin with a longish climb up towards the Foxcote estate and then descend, with great views on a lovely section through woods, across fields and then on quiet country lanes to the villages of Darlingscott and Blackwell, where we will stop for a snack break. From Blackwell we continue, initially on tarmac, then across fields and over a final small hill back into Ilmington.

Bring refreshments.

Apart from the initial climb, the route is pretty flat and easy. Quite a lot is on tarmac but these are quiet country lanes with little traffic. A few stiles but nothing tricky. Suitable for well-behaved dogs on leads, but note there is likely to be cattle in a couple of fields.
