Overview

A fairly easy 10 mile walk from Combe Hay. A gradual, short ascent takes us up out of the village with nice views of the manor estate. From here we walk along the top of the hillside to the hamlet of White Ox Mead. Bridleways, 2 small sections of minor road walking and a riverside will lead us to The Long Barrow at Stoney Littleton. We then make our way to the nearby village of Wellow for our lunch stop at the 14th Century church or possible pub stop. From here a walk through Hankley Wood and a short ascent will take us to Middle Twinhoe following which we enjoy nice views of the surrounding countryside as we make our way gradually downhill through fields back to Combe Hay.
