Overview

A circular walk starting from the Upper Car Park in Castle Combe. We will make our way via fields, lanes, and a quiet valley to the attractive village of Biddestone, where we will have a lunch break beside the duck pond. After lunch we will head towards Slaughterford, then follow the By Brook to Ford. From there we walk through woods, fields and lanes to reach the golf course at Castle Combe, and a short climb back to the car park.

There are a couple of short ascents on this walk. There are some stiles.
