Overview

From Bishops Cannings we walk up to, and then walk along, the Wansdyke. On a clear day we should have good views. We leave the Wansdyke and head for Allington and then Horton before walking back along the Kennet and Avon canal.

A stick or poles could be useful as it maybe muddy.

Bring refreshments for 2 stops.
