Overview

We will start the walk at Overton Hill, where we can see the barrows and Sanctuary before descending down a rough track into East Kennet, where we will follow a quiet? road and then up into West Woods, which we wander round. On leaving the woods, we head up from Clatford Bottom, over fields to the outskirts of Manton. Taking quiet roads and paths, we head to Fyfield and over to Lockeridge. We now take the road to West Overton then East Kennett and back up the track to the cars.
