Overview

A lovely walk from Faulkland that includes Hassage and Norton St Philip, Watery Lane and Chickwell Farm.  Excellent views along the way, north to the fringes of Bath, south across Hardington Vale towards the wooded slopes of the Longleat Estate and in an easterly direction to Salisbury Plain.  Quite simply a very pleasant rural excursion, with no dramatic highpoints to set the blood fizzing!  Watery Lane is a dry river bed for half of the year; hopefully that includes early September. Otherwise, quiet lanes, tracks and fieldpaths with no significant hills. Bring snack.
